A Salem collection of recipes across centuries

Compiled in 1910 by the Esther C. Mack Industrial School of Salem, Massachusetts, this collection brings together selections from four earlier cookbooks, dating from 1683 to 1900. Recipes range from baked goods and meat dishes to beverages, with literary quotations by writers including Shakespeare, Byron, and Cervantes interspersed throughout. Presented as a modern copy of the original, the volume also retains the imperfections that may accompany an older source. Its historical frame and range of contributing cookbooks make it a snapshot of collected culinary material across several centuries.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical cookbooks and American food history
  • Home cooks curious about older recipes for baked goods, meat dishes, and beverages
  • Readers exploring Salem’s historical publications

The mission of THE MADE IN SALEM SERIES is to find and once again make available to the public out of print books of historical significance. This book is a copy of the original.
