Description

The NYS Library's 4th Tasting History Series returned in early 2023 showcasing recipes from the 18th century. As the source for our recipes, we used Amelia Simmon’s American Cookery. This is the first cookbook to be written by an American and published in the United States. The NYS Library’s Manuscripts and Special Collections unit has a copy of the 2nd edition, which was published in 1796 in Albany, NY. Amelia Simmon's American Cookery is available in the NYS Library's Digital Collections: http://purl.nysed.gov/nysl/43895651
