Comments: This book contains a fascinating artifact of the Shaker movement, the American religious movement formed during the 18th century. As a child, the author and his father were friends with members of one of the last remaining Shaker communities. They were gifted a notebook full of recipes by one woman, Sister Jennie. The recipes are "plain and wholesome," as Sister Jennie described them, and appear in her original handwriting, alongside versions with modern ingredients and measurements. Students of food and culinary history will be fascinated by the processes that went into interpreting the Shaker recipes for a modern kitchen, and the cook book collector will find this a volume like no other.
