Without overlooking our fragile interracial beginnings, Franzwa inspires readers to experience for themselves the charming pleasures of making period items, playing antique games, preparing and tasting early New England foods, using 1621 language, etiquette and music, and sitting at a table set in old-world style. An essential guide for transforming Thanksgiving into something truly extraordinary! Ideal for families, educators, event planners, and history buffs alike. A supplemental demonstrations video (with or without book in digital format) is available through the author's website. ![]() tsp spices Bird in Hand, 4-Ounce Tins (Pack of 3) $24.00 I love to cook at home and enjoy using a variety of spices. I also love camping but have not found the best way to transport spices (when I remember to pack them.) This little tin is awesome! It has several different spices that you tend to use all the time in individual packets. The one teaspoon pre-measured amount is perfect for small meals over the campfire. ![]() Thanksgiving (Williams-Sonoma) $16.95 I was surprised at the recipes in this volume. They are simple, yet elegant. The pecan pie recipe is the best I've ever had! And as a Southerner, I've sampled a lot! The photos are great. My wife and I liked this so much we're collecting the set. ![]() New Thanksgiving Table $24.95 I was VERY impressed with this book. Beautiful photographs, clear instructions, unusual recipes. If anyone is uneasy about entertaining this book will make you confident. From appetizers to luscious desserts. Cape Cod cranberry compote; and Indiana persimmon pudding are examples. She even included Thanksgiving leftover recipes -- and they're not the usual "blah" receipes, they look delicious! I love Succotash and the New England Iron-Skillet Succotash is so origiinal and delicious. These recipes can be used all year long. Ms. Morgan did a great job with this book -- it's beautiful and useful. A must for a kitchen. A lovely book. |
