Summary
"From eighteenth-century gardens and historic cookbooks to calculated advertising campaigns and sleek supermarket aisles, Kitchen Literacy chronicles profound changes in how Americans have shopped, cooked, and thought about their foods through two centuries." "This history of our changing awareness - not only of food but of nature itself - takes us to bustling city markets, school gardens, ad-packed women's magazines, and home economics classes. While the distance between farm and table grew, we went from knowing specific stories behind foods' origins to relying instead on advertisers' claims and government assurances. As consumers gradually - and often begrudgingly - adjusted to buying modern foods in boxes and cans, they unwittingly adopted a habit of knowing very little about an enormous and anonymous system." "By revealing the history of how we've known - and not known - our foods, Kitchen Literacy promises to make us think differently about what we eat."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary
Published in 1830 in Watertown, New York, and then in 1831 in Canada (where it became Canada's first cookbook), this volume in the American Antiquarian Cookbook Collection stresses American cooking and ingredients, and urges fellow countrymen to avoid the foreign influence of English, French, and Italian cooking. Within a year of its publication in the United States, The Cook Not Mad was also published in Canada and thus became Canada's first printed cookbook. Ironically, the only difference between the editions was a single word: "Canadian" was substituted for "American" in the subtitle. In contrast to some of the larger encyclopedic cookbook collections of the day, The Cook Not Mad provides 310 recipes and household information designed to be a quick and easy reference guide to household organization for the contemporary housewife. The author describes the content as "Good Republican dishes" and includes typical American ingredients such as turkey, pumpkin, codfish, and cranberries. There are classic recipes for Tasty Indian Pudding, Federal Pancakes, Good Rye and Indian Bread (cornmeal), Johnnycake, Indian Slapjack, Washington Cake, and Jackson Jumbles. In spite of the author's American "intentions," the book does include foreign influences such as traditional English recipes, and it also contains one of the earliest known recipes for shish-kebab in American cookbooks (No. 298, A Moorish Method of Cooking Beef, as Described by Captain Riley, the Ship-Wrecked Mariner). This edition of The Cook Not Mad, or Rational Cookery was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the Society is a research library documenting the life of Americans from the colonial era through 1876. The Society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from the early American experience. The cookbook collection includes approximately 1,100 volumes.

Summary
Michael Boston offers a radical departure from other interpretations of Booker T. Washington by focusing on the latter's business ideas and practices. More specifically, Boston examines Washington as an entrepreneur, spelling out his business philosophy at great length and discussing the influence it had on black America. He analyzes the national and regional economies in which Washington worked and focuses on his advocacy of black business development as the key to economic uplift for African Americans. The result is a revisionist book that responds to the skewed literature on Washington e.
