Colonial Comfort Foods by Michael Dragoo

This is an excellent cookbook - probably one of my top favorites. There is an excellent section on various cooking implements of the 18th century as well as tips and history and fun little tidbits of information. The book is spiral bound so it sits perfectly open and the pages are glossy so they stay clean. The photography is wonderful and vibrant and the receipts are easy to read and understand (no tiny print to contend with). I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone who is interested in this type of cooking or who is involved in living history. I held back one star only because it’s pretty expensive for a cookbook (though I understand the price is probably higher due to production costs with lower volumes?) however, I don’t regret spending the money on this at all.

I am enjoying reading this cookbook. It has great historical info, orginal recipes and then an easier one below it for people like me who might struggle to understand. It has beautiful pictures. It is worth the price, in my opinion, just as reading material, even if you don't use it for actual cooking.

This was one of many things u have gotten from you guys and I love it

Love the period correct recipes and can’t wait to try some

This book is interesting enough to just to sit down and read. It has practical explanations and measurements for most if not all of the recipes that Mr. Dragoo has shared on the channel. There is a good bit of additional historical content. Some in the form of pop up facts that are easy for us younger folks with shorter attention spans to digest.
My only disappointment is that the hardcover edition I received doesn't lay quite right. Half the pages have a bit of a curl that makes it difficult to keep it open while on table without some weigh on it. That's exactly why I buy the hardcover. It should be fine after some breaking in and humidity in a hot kitchen.
