Sweet Taste of History: More Than 100 Elegant Dessert Recipes From America’S Earliest Days Hardcover – Illustrated, November 5, 2013

Absolutely amazing collection of recipes and role in History. Truly, a treasure!

Love it!! So colorful with detailed recipes!! Love it!!

How eagerly I turned the pages of this most interesting history of early cooking and cooks in the US colonies. Some of the ingredients used by our ancestors. The photos are marvelous and recipes so well written for the modern kitchen.

I've picked out a couple of things to make so far. I would have made a cake for Christmas but I didn't have all the ingredients I needed. Beautiful pictures, also has a forward written by David McCullagh who wrote the forward for the City Tavern cookbook as well. Love the history with the recipes in this book. I also watch "A Taste of History" whenever it is on. Excellent book and would definitely recommend it as well as the City Tavern cookbook. They make a great set.

I do recommend this cookbook for anyone who loves colonial and revolutionary era history or for anyone who simply enjoys food. I have a goofy crush on Chef Stain and I have watched all of his historic cooking shows.My poached pears were delicious.

I really enjoy this book. I love the historical information, and the recipes have been updated to reflect today's cook. I plan to buy the other books from this author.

The story's were so interesting. I want to go to this pub now!!

This is a wonderful cookbook. The photography is gorgeous. The history is fascinating. The recipes, which are well written and easy to follow, are *delicious*. I highly recommend both this book and the PBS TV series hosted by the same wonderful chef. I am not ordinarily a fan of cooking shows, but his is fantastic. So are his cookbooks.

Very traditional recipes. Many reminded me of my childhood. Nothing too complicated and lots of interesting historical facts sprinkled throughout.

Love this book but i widh there was more hostorical facts and stories. Great book overall, nice old recipes, beautiful pictures
