Interesting Historical Account of LincolnBy Sarie BThis book has a lot of interesting history about Lincoln and those living in his time....the recipes were basic...I expected more recipes; but there was more history than actual recipes included. I enjoyed the book; though!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A new perspective on LincolnBy Barbara BachnerI have never read a book quite like this one; and I'm delighted with it. The author has done her research and explains along the way what research she did and how she applied it to each chapter and recipe. As I read it; I feel l'm getting a better understanding of Lincoln as a person than I had before. You might keep it on your history book shelves or you might put it with your cookbooks; as it would apply to each category. Who knew Lincoln was such a gingerbread cookie lover? Who knew what interesting things can be found at the bottom of the well on the Lincoln property? Here you get little wisps of Lincoln the husband; the father; the attorney; the neighbor; the candidate; the friend. The author has taken a lot of time and has spent a lot of effort reworking ancient recipes to mesh with today's ingredients; electric/gas stoves; tastes; etc. At the end of each chapter you'll find one or more recipes that you can make in your own kitchen with ingredients you can find in today's supermarkets. This book is a delight!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. goodBy cooliogood
