In The U.S. History Cookbook, you’ll discover how Americans have lived and dined over the centuries. This scrumptious survey of periods and events in U.S. history mixes together a delectable batter of food timelines, kid-friendly recipes, and fun food facts throughout each chapter, including such fascinating tidbits as: Sunday was baked bean day in many colonial family homes; pioneers took advantage of the rough trails to churn milk into butter; the Girl Scouts first started selling cookies in the 1930s to save money for summer camp; and so much more!

Kids will have a great time learning about the past while they cook up easy and yummy recipes, including:

• Cornmeal Blueberry Mush, a favorite dish of the Native Americans of the Northeast
• King Cake, the traditional cake served at the Mardi Gras Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana
• Amazing Country Scrambled Eggs, an essential part of any hearty pioneer breakfast
• Cocoanut Pudding, a favorite dessert of travelers riding the transcontinental railroad in the 1870s
• Baked Macaroni ’N’ Cheese, a popular and inexpensive dish enjoyed during the Depression

The U.S. History Cookbook also includes information on cooking tools and skills, with important rules for kitchen safety and clean up.
