Great homeschool resource

This is an awesome book! Great for beginner's of all ages, even me! I can't wait to use this with my daughter.

I love it!

As a homeschooling Mom this has been so fun. I can tie in recipes from the times with the time period they are studying, and it gives extra info. It has been a wonderful resource to ad to our studies.

Priceless Resource for homeschoolers!!!

I first found this book at a Library and instantly fell in love. I knew I had to get one of my own. It is such a treasure trove of information and the recipes are so interesting. In my search for a good resource on Native Americans, I have finally hit the jack pot. I love this book and highly highly recommend it for anyone....especially if your a homeschooler!

Outstanding! If you are a Homeschooler this book is a must!

This book is outstanding! It has really easy to use time appropiate recipes that include options that might be easier to find today. This book covers American Indians, The Colonial Period, The Revolutionary War, Westward Expansion, The Civil War, and the last 6 chapters break up the U.S. and give recipes likely to be found in those areas. At the end of each chapter is a great resource of books on the subject with detailed discriptions that are VERY helpful! If you are a Teacher or a Homeschooler this book is a must!
