Summary: Fattening Look at the Past
Review: This is a great, fun little look at the past of American cooking. But, boy, were they not worried about cholesterol and calories like we are now! If you do attempt making any of the recipes found in the book, I would just recommend reducing the amount of sugar and the amount of butter (especially in the 'pudding' recipes). It is great fun to experiment with to see what our ancestors ate.
