American History Cookbook

By Meredith L. Curtis

Would you like your children to love US history? This book is the key. We've adapted historical recipes to make them easy to fix in your own kitchen like Louisa May Alcott's Blueberry Slump, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello Noodles, and Martha Washington's Fruit Cake.

History is a favorite subject at the Curtis house and when we added cooking and baking to learning about "the olden days," it made our studies come alive When I talked about cutting the historical meals out of homeschool co-op one year, my son said, "Mom, you can't do that. The food is the best part "

All our curriculum supplies a Christian worldview, living books, and hands-on learning so each chapter includes: US history overviews, book lists, and food history.
