Rather than serving something simple, hostesses arranged elaborate sweet tables, displays of ornate beauty and delicious edibles meant to leave guests with a lasting impression. A Sweet Taste of History will have the same effect, lingering in the minds of its readers and inspiring them to get in the kitchen. This gorgeous cookbook blends American history with exquisite recipes, as well as tips on how to create your own sweet table. It features 100 scrumptious dessert recipes, including cakes, cobblers, pies, cookies, quick breads, and ice cream. It includes original recipes from first ladies well-known for entertaining, such as Martha Washington’s An Excellent Cake and Dolley Madison’s French Vanilla Ice Cream. Chef Staib also offers sources for unusual ingredients and step-by-step culinary techniques, updating some of the recipes for modern cooks. This wonderful keepsake will bring a bygone era in America to life and inspire readers who love to cook, entertain, and follow history. Review: One word.....FANTASTIC...!!! - This is a fabulous cookbook filled with recipes and vivid photos of our country's 18th century sweet treats along with historical information of the cuisine. Chef Staib is an expert in 18th century cooking. In addition, he is the chef-owner of the City Tavern in Philadelphia, PA,(opened Dec., 1773),author of "City Tavern" cookbook, and host of "A Taste of History" food show on PBS. This is a perfect companion to the City Tavern book and, along with the recipes, is just an interesting book to read and display on your coffee table. Thank you, Chef Staib, for sharing your expertise and knowledge. Review: Great Recipes, Great History, Great Photography - This is a wonderful cookbook. The photography is gorgeous. The history is fascinating. The recipes, which are well written and easy to follow, are *delicious*. I highly recommend both this book and the PBS TV series hosted by the same wonderful chef. I am not ordinarily a fan of cooking shows, but his is fantastic. So are his cookbooks. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #233,766 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #141 in Frozen Dessert Recipes #289 in Gastronomy History (Books) #818 in U.S. Regional Cooking, Food & Wine | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 185 Reviews | ## Images ![Sweet Taste of History: More Than 100 Elegant Dessert Recipes From America'S Earliest Days - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KtM-XGRFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One word.....FANTASTIC...!!! *by Q***E on July 6, 2014* This is a fabulous cookbook filled with recipes and vivid photos of our country's 18th century sweet treats along with historical information of the cuisine.
