Description
In addition to the 139 delicious recipes-roast suckling pig to cherry bounced & mulled wine--Weaver paints an invaluable portrait of the Pennsylvania Germans as a people. He focuses on the period of 1830-70, when traditional Pennsylvania-German cookery began to break down under mounting pressures of assimilation, technological changes (such as cooling stoves), & the massive change in life style brought about by the Civil War. Charming line illustrations, chosen from rare nineteenth-century sources, are also included.
