Got this in e-mail and thought some of you on the list might be
interested. Hope it works; I've not visited the site yet. - Ron

Hey!
Many of you know I'm a history buff. I recently discovered a wonderful
resource if you're interested in history, cooking, or eating!
Patricia B. Mitchell Foodways Publications at http://www.foodhistory.com/
has an amazing collection of "historical" cookbooks with facts,
anecdotes,...mixed in. I have a copy of her book, Southern Born and Bread,
and it's wonderful. It contains dozens of recipes for quickbreads (I
usually mix them up for breakfast as muffins)using wholesome ingredients
like wheat flour, oat bran, honey, and fresh fruit. Good stuff and good
for you.
She also offers pioneer cookbooks, pilgrim cookbooks, recipes from the
civil war era, you name it. Check it out!
