A 3+ NF Reviewed by Vicky M. Turner Each of the books in the series Cooking Throughout American History is nicely done. They are not just recipe books, but also include a brief history of the time period and foods the people used. There is also pronunciation for the harder or unfamiliar words. This series is written on a second-or third-grade reading level but will be of interest to older children. The author uses authentic terms for food, such as “grub” and “chuck.” The books have a glossary and an index. These books would be excellent to include in a history unit on any one of the periods listed.
