Here is the first book to recount how American women have gathered, cooked, and prepared food for lovers, strangers, and family throughout the ages. We find native women who pried nourishment from the wilderness, mothers who sold biscuits to buy their children's freedom, immigrant wives who cooked old foods in new homes to provide comfort. From church bake sales to microwaving moms, this book is a celebration of women's lives, homes, and communities. Over fifty recipes, from Federal Pancakes to Sweet Potato Pie, are beautifully presented along with over one hundred images from artists, photographers, and rare sources. <em>A Thousand Years Over a Hot Stove</em> is the shared history of all American women and the perfect gift for anyone who ever put food on the table.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An amazing and wonderful book.-- "Providence Journal"<br><br>Fascinating social history with a heaping helping of home cooking.-- "Booklist"<br><br>Lively, well-researched and thoroughly engrossing.-- "Newsday"<br><br>This fascinating culinary history documents the intimate, ever-changing ties between American women and food.-- "Utne"<br><br>A passionate, groundbreaking book that will not only make you appreciate the culinary journey of the apronned ones who stood the heat of the cookstove for centuries, but also understand why they sometimes had an attitude!
