The way we ate Pacific Northwest cooking, 1843-1900


Title Cover Image: The way we ate

Probing diaries, letters, business journals, and newspapers for morsels of information, food historian Jackie Williams here follows pioneers from the earliest years of settlement in the Northwest to the time when railroads brought Pacific Northwest cooks the latest ingredients and implements. Like she did in her earlier acclaimed volume, Wagon Wheel Kitchens: Food on the Oregon Trail, Williams sheds important new light on a little-understood aspect of our past
