About this title

From the Author:

Reasons for writing the book.
Being in my 90's, I myself have experienced great changes in cooking methods, recipes, and foods. I realized that tomorrow's cooks may never know that early cooks built towering cakes -- rolled piecrusts, and laid noodles to dry -- with no boxed foods or frozen foods to help them. Using my own ancestors, I have traced the evolution of cooking methods and foods available since the 1700's. Each generation noted great changes. I think the homemakers and cooks through the ages are the unsung heroes of history.
