"Who Were the Original Foodies?"
Beyond their legacy as revolutionaries and politicians, the
Founding Fathers of America were first and foremost a group of
farmers. Passionate about the land and the bounty it produced,
their love of food and the art of eating created what would
ultimately become America's diverse food culture.
Like many of today's foodies, the Founding Fathers were ardent
supporters of sustainable farming and ranching, exotic imported
foods, brewing, distilling, and wine appreciation. Washington,
Jefferson, and Franklin penned original recipes, encouraged local
production of beer and wine, and shared their delight in food with
friends and fellow politicians.
In "The Founding Foodies," food writer Dave DeWitt
entertainingly describes how some of America's most famous colonial
leaders not only established America's political destiny, but also
revolutionized the very foods we eat.
Features over thirty authentic colonial recipes, including:
Thomas Jefferson's ice cream A recipe for beer by George Washington
Martha Washington's fruitcake Medford rum punch Terrapin soup
