Civil War Recipes

The recipes themselves become a window into middle-class American culture nearly 150 years ago: what they ate, how they prepared their foods, how much food was prepared, and what kitchen utensils were used.

~Arkansas Review

Presents a picture of domestic life during those difficult years.

~Blue Ridge Country

A valuable work to all readers who are interested in American cooking practices of the past, especially of the era of the Civil War.

~Charles P. Roland

A superb job of filling in the background on cooking term, measurements, techniques, etc., that were commonplace for our ancestors but unknown or baffling today.

~Civil War Interactive

A 'must' for the cookbook collector, and for those who enjoy a good read and good food.

~Journal of the West

Serves up period dishes ranging from the gourmet to army rations.

~Publishers Weekly

Civil War Recipes not only can be put to practical use, but it's also fun to read and chuckle over.
