Additional Details
Description: The fine food and gracious hospitality that characterized George and Martha Washington's 18th-century entertaining is reflected in The Mount Vernon Cookbook, a collection of "receipts" (recipes) assembled by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, the private, non-profit organization that has owned and operated the historic home of George Washington since 1858. The receipts, many of which have been passed down through several generations, feature ingredients that were available to 18th-century cooks but use modern methods of preparation and cooking.
- Historical introduction describing 18th-century cooking and entertaining at Mount Vernon.
- More than a hundred receipts for colonial and modern favorites, such as Virginia Ham Biscuits, Clam Fritters, Rolled Leg of Lamb, Corn Pudding and Hot Mulled Wine.
- Stunning color photo- graphs of George Washington's mansion, gardens and grounds.
- Nancy Reagan's Monkey Bread receipt, Barbara Bush's receipt for Wine Jelly, and Lady Bird Johnson's Spoon Bread receipt.
