Review An Antebellum Plantation Household: Including the South Carolina Low Country Receipts And Remedies of Emily Wharton Sinkler / With Eighty-two Newly Discovered ... (Women's Diaries and Letters of the South) / University of South Carolina Press:At the age of nineteen, Emily Wharton married Charles Sinkler and moved eight hundred miles from her Philadelphia home to a cotton plantation in an isolated area in the South Carolina Low Country. In monthly letters to her northern family, she recorded keen observations about her adopted home, and in a receipt book, she assembled a trusted collection of culinary and medicinal recipes reflecting her ties to both North and South. Together with an extensive biographical and historical introduction by Anne Sinkler Whaley LeClercq, these documents provide a flavorful record of plantation cooking, folk medicine, travel, and social life in the antebellum South. While Emily Wharton Sinkler's letters reflect the vibrancy and affluence of Low Country plantation society at the peak of its power and wealth, they also record her philosophical indisposition to slavery and document her significant role in managing the plantation, which meant administering provisions and attending to the health of more than two hundred people. The receipts offer valuable insight into the melding of diverse cultural and ethnic influences - French Huguenot, African, Low Country, Virginian, and Pennsylvanian - and reveal Sinkler's reliance on locally grown ingredients, success in devising substitutions for items that had been readily available in Philadelphia, and skill in treating a myriad of ailments. This new edition of "An Antebellum Plantation Household" includes an appendix of eighty-two additional receipts, recently discovered by the author amid her family archives.

Review Making a Meal of It: Two Thousand Years of English Cookery / English Heritage:Starting with the Roman invasion this book traces the development of food and cooking in Britain. It outlines the impact of the introduction of many foodstuffs we now think of as quintessentially British and goes on to look at how the colonisation of the New World dramatically altered the culinary landscape; how the introduction of the fork led to improved table manners; how the rapid development of scientific and technological discoveries in the Georgian era affected both the preparation and quality of food; and how the introduction of bottled and canned products in the Victorian era radically altered the diet of rich and poor alike. The book is stuffed full of recipes from every era - from milk fed snails and suckling pig to poor man's soup and marzipan bacon. The recipes have been adapted for the modern kitchen to give a true taste of history.

Review Culinary Tourism (Material Worlds) / University Press of Kentucky:The lure of exotic food has motivated many people to travel, and the tourism industry thrives on providing the utmost dining experiences - either of new and exotic foods, or of authentic foods from a particular culture or region, or even of familiar foods, comforting, consistent and safe to the traveller. Such exploration can occur in a variety of venues: restaurants, festivels, grocery stores, and cooking classes. While food has always been central to travelling, culinary tourism can happen in less exotic settings, through the procurement, preservation, preparation, presentation and performance of food. Consuming, or possibly just tasting, exotic foods can be the ultimate goal of a tourist's experience, but food can also serve as a way for tourists to explore other cultures. Considering food as both a destination and a means for tourism, the contributors to this book examine the many intersections of food, culture and tourism in public and commercial contexts, in private and domestic settings, and around the world. Just as movies, books, postcards and memories take us to other places, food also takes us to other realms of experience, allowing us to enjoy diverse cultures from the comfort of home. Restaurants, cookbooks, televised cooking shows, food magazines, recipe sections in newspapers, and even reality television shows, such as "Survivor" and "Fear Factor", allow us to tour the foodways of other cultures. This book provides a taste of such adventures.

Review American Woman's Home / Applewood Books(MA):Published in 1869 by the indomitable Beecher sisters, The American Woman's Home is remarkable for both its philosophy and its practicality. A pioneering work of scientific kitchen planning, the book's recommendation for specific work areas, built-in cupboards and shelves, and continuous work surfaces are ideals that, while new at the time, are taken for granted today. The work presupposes a servantless home and teaches the homemaker basic skills on how to cope with such inventions as stoves and refrigerators, as well as providing information on healthful food and drink, care of the sick, and care of the home. While the few recipes included are mainly medicinal, this is an important work of social and food history.
