American Cookery (1796) by Amelia Simmons is known as the “first American cookbook”and has attracted an 
enthusiastic modern audience of historians, food journalists, and general readers. Yet until now American Cookery has not received the sustained scholarly attention it deserves. Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald’s United Tastes fills this gap by providing a detailed examination of the social circumstances and culinary tradition that produced this American classic.
There will be a pre-talk reception at 5:30
