Huh. ok. hopefully I can find a book on this somewhere. It seems to me like cookbooks of the past are not really what we think of cookbooks today. Or at least some of them aren't because they include many home remedies and other stuff like info on merchandising or learning a trade. Cookbooks now seem to be pretty focused right? Are home remedies now for the "frugal," the "environmentalists" and people who like "alternative medicine, thus making home remedies seem inferior to some Americans?
What about home economics? Didn't mom take that and she had to learn to sow? Do some places still do that? What about these books on domesticity? Have they disappeared because of woman's right's issues?
