Mike-

Thanks! Interesting site. I'm disappointed to see that all their meat

recipes are modernized, though.

Not Native American, but I just got the Martha Washington Booke of Cookery

and it is wonderful ... it is in the original language, with interpretations

by a scholar (who didn't try the recipes, but seems to have a good

knowledge of cookery and is sympathetic to fermentation issues).

Heidi,

Where did you get it?

Sounds like what I've been looking for. Old original recipes, from before

processed grains.

Amazon.com, of course!

I also got " the American Frugal Housewife " which someone

brought up, which is pretty good, but Martha Washington

is a lot bigger and has good annotation. " Frugal housewife "

is a lot more contemporary and more like our own cooking.

" Martha " is decidedly different from what we think of

as cooking. Lots of recipes take, say, 12 eggs! They take

some interpreting ... like:

TO MAKE LITTLE FRYING CAKES

WITH THE PULPLE OF APPLES OR ANY OTHER FRUITE

Take about the biggness of 2 or 3 eggs

of the pap of roasted apples, or the

pap of any other fruite, & put it into a dish

with 2 or 3 spoonfulls of flowre, 6 eggs,

& a little salt, mix these well together, and melt some

fresh butter in a fryng pan, & fry it in little cakes; & when they

are enough, dish them up with rosewater

and sugar & stick them with candyed leamon pill.

The commentator makes the comment that this

is basically a pancake with baked apples. Much different

from our pancakes though: it is mostly egg!

A lot of the recipes do call for flour (flowre), though

as with the one above, any flour would likely do.

Lots of recipes for fresh milk from the cow too,

cheese, beer. The commentator makes comments

such as, a " roasted " egg was roasted in the ashes

of the fire (not boiled, as we would do, though

he says that's a good substitute).

Sounds delightful, Heidi,

I will definitely look into it.

Not only food for the tummy but food for the brain in " translating " it.

Enjoy! ;-)

I am still quite amused at the one recipe called " Horses Tea " . Take 7

horse hairs carefully from a tale and brew it!!! Now, what nutritional

value is in that, besides urine and dead fly guts? Why not " human hair

tea " or " dog hair tea " ? This one has got to be a joke as it is one of

the few ones bolded.
