Wayne County (PA) Historical Society

Today, many recipes call for vanilla extract. Early 19th-century New Englanders, however, tended to use rosewater. The first American cookbook, American Cookery by Amelia Simmons, called for rosewater in a wide variety of recipes including apple pie, bread pudding, winter squash pudding, fine cream syllabub, pound cake, and more. You too can explore history through cooking with a historical cookbook as your guide. The Wayne County Historical Society Gift shop has in stock, The Early American Cookbook by Lynn & Pelton. You can purchase this book or one of our many other titles in our NEW online store. You can choose to ship a gift to a friend or just purchase and pickup at the Museum! https://store.waynehistorypa.com/
