520 |a "The American History Cookbook is a book of recipes used in the United States, some very long before it was called the United States, some still followed today. Some of the recipes make delicious dishes. Some were never very good ... but I haven't improved them because this is not a book about the best cooking in American history. The recipes were picked because they tell people's stories ... Most recipes are reprinted verbatim ... then presented in modern format, but without alterations--except as necessary to reproduce the original dish using supermarket ingredients and contemporary kitchen equipment."--Preface.
