Colonial Christmas Cooking will assist those wishing to plan a Yule-themed dinner, as well as anyone interested in learning about historic foodways. Descriptions of different styles of celebrating the birth of Christ are presented - from the Moravians' devout joyousness to the Anglican's bubbly merriment. (And then there was the Puritan non-participation in the celebration....) Recipes for Wassail, Joy Tea Cakes, Jamestown Sweet Potato Pudding, etc., will definitely put one in the holiday mood.Published 1991, revised from the original 1990 edition. Contains 52 authentic, interpreted (redacted), and commemorative recipes; 95 research notes; and 127 numbered pages including index. This and other books by Patricia B. Mitchell were first written for museums and their patrons. Each of her books summarizes a food history topic, using quotations and anecdotes to both entertain and inform. She carefully lists her references to make it easy for others to launch their own research. Since the 1980s Patricia Mitchell's work is a proven staple of American museum culture. Her readers love to share her ever-present sense of discovery. Her sales are approaching a million copies, and she is widely known by her web identity FoodHistory.com.
