His religion-neutral account of the LDS trek westward from Nauvoo to the Utah territory is enlightening, entertaining, well-researched and respectful of all the cultural perspectives involved (European immigrant, Native American, Brigham Young's contingent, US military, etc) with the journey. Even if you think you already know Utah history well, you'll likely find several surprises here along with an eclectic assortment of tempting recipes and delightful illustrations. Whether you carry a temple card or not, this is a definite recommend. I'd even consider it a "must-have" for any nutritional anthropology/historical gastronomy library, both inside Utah and out. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Plain but Wholesome presents a groundbreaking foray into Mormon history. Brock Cheney explores the foodways of Mormon pioneers from their trek west through the arrival of the railroad and reveals new perspectives on the fascinating Mormon settlement era. Relying on original diaries, newspaper accounts, and recipe books from the 1850s, Cheney draws a vivid portrait of what Mormon pioneers ate and drank. Although other authors have sketched the subject before, this portrait is the first effort that might be described as scholarly, though the lively prose will interest a broad general audience. Presented here are the first explicit descriptions of the menus, food processes, and recipes of the Mormon pioneers. While many have supposed that earlier pioneer foodways continued to be handed down through Mormon families, Cheney has confirmed traditions going back generations and covering more than a century. The book also exposes myths and clichés about pioneer piety and hardships, as Cheney examines such pioneer extravagances as fresh "oysters on the half shell" and pioneer trends of alcohol consumption. A perfect gift for the history buff or Dutch oven chef, Plain but Wholesome will also prove its place among scholars and historians. With its rollicking blend of historical source material and modern interpretation, this book will entertain and educate novice and expert alike. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
