Title: Cook Not Mad, or Rational Cookery: A Reprint of a Rare American Cookbook Published in 1830 to Which Have Been Added Recipes for Present-Day Use and Explanatory Notes.
Description: Toronto Roy A. Abrahamson & Associates , 1975. Reprint ed. Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), pictorial cover, adverts on endpapers, facsimile title page, few single-colour drawings, minor edgewear jacket. 128 pp. (This copy: Cherry Tree Press, 1976.) This historic American cookbook by Roy Abrahamson was first published in 1830, and this reprint has adaptations of the old recipes (to use readily-available current ingredients, and have been tested in modern kitchens). The remedies and potions are based on knowledge of 1830, and are interesting to read, but should not be used without the advice of a physician. This book tells us how Americans lived 150 years ago, in the time when America was young. A reading cookbook rather than a "how to" cookbook. ISBN: 0919938000
