[Sca-cooks] OOP foodie question for a friend....

[Johnna Holloway]

There's three (yes 3) Lewis and Clark cookbooks out that
she ought to look at---
The Lewis & Clark Cookbook: Historic Recipes from the Corps of Discovery 
and Jefferson's America

The Food Journal of Lewis & Clark: Recipes for an Expedition

The Lewis & Clark Cookbook: With Contemporary Recipes

A juvenile title for kids is:

Cooking on the Lewis and Clark Expedition (Exploring History Through 
Simple Recipes)

These should give her a start as well as using the Amelia Simmons text 
that Master A. suggested.
Karen Hess has edited a facsimile of the seond edition of American 
Cookery which was corrected
and published in Albany in 1796. It has very good notes on the text and 
period in it.

Hope this helps.

A friend's looking for any information on what kinds of nibbles, food, 
appetizers, and beverages
would have been served at balls or less-formal, but still "public" 
gatherings in the first decades of the 19th c?
These goodies will be served at two different openings for a museum's 
exhibit on Lewis & Clark.
