Ah-choo! Oh, no, a sneezing attack! It happens every time you open your dusty, old history textbook. That is, if you stay awake long enough to sneezzzzzz. . . . But wait, history doesn’t need to be deadly dull. In fact, it is anything but boring when you munch and crunch your way through it. Get set for a guaranteed way to turn sneezy into easy and drowsy into delicious. Get ready to eat your history homework!
            This is a book about making edible connections to American history. Each section shares a quick bite of America from 1620 to 1789, highlighting events—and food—from the arrival of the Pilgrims to George Washington becoming the first president. The recipes are based on original descriptions or on what historians believe early colonists were eating at the time. Of course, before Europeans settled in what we now call North America, the “new” world was old news to millions of Native Americans who had called this land home for thousands of years. As cultures collided, people learned to survive by sharing ideas—and food.
            Any way you slice it, learning about the past has never been so tasty!
