by Mary Gunderson $19.95, 176 pages, soft cover This award-winning cookbook brings history as close as a bite of buffalo jerky or a taste of hominy. Author, food historian, and lecturer Mary Gunderson blends excerpts from Lewis and Clark’s journals with brief history lessons and more than 80 authentic recipes she faithfully created for the book. This is the book that links food to the spirit of the endeavor. In this unique Lewis & Clark cookbook, Food Journal readers live the journey as it unfolds through the sensory adventure of what the travelers ate, including food supplies brought from St. Louis and Philadelphia, foods hunted and gathered, and foods traded from tribal people. This distinctive book offers a tale of daily life on the trail from the journey’s birth in Thomas Jefferson’s imagination to St. Louis’s welcome for the returning Corps of Discovery. |
