All the Dishes from this cookbook forms the soul of our collective culinary heritage. This cookbook talks about how they look cooking like an appetizer,  before dinner and taste teasing. It’s a hands on type of book that talks about the different foods. making the cooking, eating and sharing of a flavorful meal and other forms. In this book it explains the chapter by focusing on the selection of dishes that considers the best of American Home Cooking.

The American home cooking was published in 1999. The relevant thing about the time period for this cookbook is that back then people use to love to cook different types of foods that were good for the soul. Especially the taste and flavor they put into cooking was especially interesting.

The audience that attended the cookbook is the people that are Native Americans that are home cooks all the time. That really is in the kitchen cooking home cook meals. It says in the book  that home cooking differs from restaurants cooking in multiple respects Their skill level is very unique, because they have been cooking for a long time, In the book American Home Cooking on (page 3)  it says that “we approach our subject as home cooks, not as trained chefs, culinary historians or food savants of any other kind.” 

The types of ingredients, measurements and technology that’s required is that they use a long handled fireplace to make the waffles. The technology of that is that they made homemade style by using items to make the long handle.. For the ingredients they make it home made style as well. This book tells us that they use homemade items to cook their food. They also tell us that this is like a family status cookbook, that you can cook with your family.

   

 

This cookbook tells us that the author put so much time and effort into the cookbook that the reader read’s it over and over and wants to buy the cookbook. This cookbook is for every race, anyone can use this cookbook and make great foods out of it. This cookbook doesn’t use any health rhetoric. 

 

The cookbooks lay out and contextualize the foods and recipes. They do it by writing it out step by step and they will put the directions under it. No they don’t use any rhetoric identity. They do historically contextualize the recipe, by talking about what it is and putting the ingredients and directions right under it 

The concepts and themes that showed up in this cookbook that we talked about in class are individual nutritional status, technology and environment. For the technology they were more hands on and making and using their own products to cook. For Individual nutritional status they will show some nutrition foods like grapes, pineapples etc. and the environment they write out where they are cooking at.
