Revolution Recipes: The Secrets of American Cookbooks with Melanie Bump
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What did Americans actually eat during the Revolution — and how do we know? In this special live edition of Beyond The Green, recorded at the Parsippany Public Library, we sit down with Melanie Bump of the Morris County Park Commission to explore the fascinating world of early American cookbooks.
Drawing from a remarkable rare book collection, Melanie takes us inside the kitchens of 18th and 19th century America — the recipes, the household wisdom, and the surprising stories these books reveal about the people who wrote and used them. From colonial cooking traditions to the first truly "American" cookbooks, this conversation serves up history you can almost taste.
A huge thank you to Melanie Bump and the Morris County Park Commission for sharing this incredible collection, and to the Parsippany Library for hosting Beyond The Green's live audience recording.
