How did early Americans eat, and how did their cooking shape the traditions we celebrate today? Stop by the Revolutionary New York exhibition to learn about Amelia Simmons, author of American Cookery (1796), one of the earliest cookbooks written by an American. Explore 18th-century New York foodways and learn how Simmons helped shape American cooking, including recipes that influenced our Thanksgiving traditions. Visitors can pick up a historic-inspired recipe card to take home and bring a taste of early American history into their own kitchens!
