It was with the help of a Native American they knew as Squanto that they learned to properly cultivate the land so that they could survive and flourish. All of that might seem quite removed from your own gardening endeavors, however there is much to be learned from those historical lessons. What was the soil like then? How did the soil affect the food being grown? What techniques were used to enrich the soil? Why is it that the Pilgrims, being from a more technologically advanced society, needed the help of the Native Americans to survive? Whether you are an experienced gardener, or just starting out, “Squanto’s Garden” has plenty to teach you.

  • Digesting the Complexities of Cake in Australian Society - After a Long and Textured British-European History
    Digesting the complexities of cake in Australian society - after a long and textured British-European history The how and why of cake consumption in contemporary Australia ~ A Research Project by Jessica Graieg-Morrison a1641657 ~ 1. Introduction Answering the questions of how and why people choose and consume particular foods is a complex undertaking. This essay will attempt to examine the historical development of cake to determine its role on the plates and in the minds of Australian consumers. Cake is, some argue, an unnecessary food; however, there are many cultural and social events that, seemingly, cannot occur without it present. Why has this mixture of ‘special’ ingredients so long enchanted humans and become central to numerous celebrations and cultural rituals? From ancient times sweet creations have been developed using available resources, with technological development and world travel contributing to the significant development of cake offerings available today. Whatever the age, it is cake that is used to bring people together in celebration as communities mark important cultural and personal events. As time passed and people moved around the globe, cake recipes were enriched with new meanings, ideas and symbolism. As a relatively young country, Australia was taught to bake and eat cake by European immigrants, particularly the British. Our lack of a unique cultural cuisine has seen the adoption of eating patterns from a range of international sources. Sifting through stories about cake from Great Britain, mainland Europe, America and, finally, Australia, this essay will seek to examine the cultural phenomenon of cake, particularly in contemporary Australian society. 2. What is cake? The word ‘cake’ has two slightly different, albeit related, definitions.

  • The British Origins of the First American Cookbook: a Re-Evaluation of Amelia Simmons’ American Cookery (1796)
    CORE brought to you by Pobrane z czasopisma New Horizons in English Studies http://newhorizons.umcs.pl Data: 20/11/2019 22:19:35 New Horizons in English Studies 3/2018 CULTURE & MEDIA • View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Anna Węgiel GRADUATE SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF PHILOSOPHY AND SOCIOLOGY POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [email protected] The British Origins of The First American Cookbook: A Re-evaluation of Amelia Simmons’ American Cookery (1796) Abstract. In 1796, the first American cookbookAmerican Cookery by Amelia Simmons was published in Hartford, Connecticut. Although many scholars referred to it as “the second declaration of American independence” the cooking patterns presented in Simmons’ book still resembled the old English tradi- tion. The purpose of this paper is to explore the British origins of the first American cookbook and to demonstrate that it is, in essence,UMCS a typical eighteenth-century English cookery book. Key Words: American Cookery, Amelia Simmons, cuisine, cookbook. American Cookery by Amelia Simmons was published in 1796, twenty years after the Declaration of Independence. In Feeding America – the Historic American Cookbook Project, scholars have argued that American Cookery deserves to be called “a second Declaration of American Independence,” as it was the first cookbook written by an American writer (Feeding America 2003). Most researchers point to certain features that make American Cookery an American cookbook. Karen Hess, one of the major food studies researchers poses a question: “what makes American Cookery so very American?” and answers that “it is precisely the bringing together of certain native American products and English culinary traditions” (Hess 1996, xv).

  • RESEARCH THEME: FOOD RESEARCH REPORT for the UK Estonian University of Life Sciences
    CULTURE AND NATURE: THE EUROPEAN HERITAGE OF SHEEP FARMING AND PASTORAL LIFE RESEARCH THEME: FOOD RESEARCH REPORT FOR THE UK By Simon Bell and Gemma Bell Estonian University of Life Sciences November 2011 The CANEPAL project is co-funded by the European Commission, Directorate General Education and Culture, CULTURE 2007-2013.Project no: 508090-CU-1-2010-1-HU-CULTURE-VOL11 This report reflects the authors’ view and the Commission is not liable for any use that may be made of the information contained herein 1. INTRODUCTION Sheep have been a major farm animal in the UK for hundreds of years and also been raised in countries such as New Zealand which were British colonies and which send considerable quantities of lamb and mutton to British markets. Food from sheep has been and remains common in British cuisine and there are a number of typical and classic dishes as well as plainer and more popular ones. These are not specifically associated with sheep farming or shepherding but are intrinsically part of British and Irish cooking generally. The term lamb is used for young fattened lambs up to one year old. The meat from a mature sheep is known as mutton. In general meat from sheep (lamb and mutton) is the main product and sheep milk is hardly used except in a very small way using non-native breeds. Owing to food hygiene regulations slaughter of sheep must be carried out in licensed abbatoirs so that the food product chain starts with hill farmers selling store lambs to lowland farmers for finishing, via the auction marts, after which these farmers sell the fat lambs or fattened cull sheep to abbatoirs where the animals are slaughtered and the carcasses sold on to butchers or, increasingly, to supermarkets which nowadays have their own quality assurance schemes.

The author reserves all other publication and other rights in association with the copyright in the thesis and, except as herein before provided, neither the thesis nor any substantial portion thereof may be printed or otherwise reproduced in any material form whatsoever without the author's prior written permission. Abstract This project offers a semi-diplomatic edition of three seventeenth-century Englishwomen’s household manuals along with a Historical Introduction, Textual Introduction, Note on the Text, and Glossary. The aim of this project is multifold: to bring to light a body of unpublished manuscripts at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.; to consider the household manual as an important historical form of women’s writing (despite the fact it has not received such consideration in the past); to acknowledge the role of household manuals in furthering women’s literacy; to reveal new knowledge on the history of food and medicine in England as contained in household manuals; and to discuss the unique contribution of household manuals to critical issues of authorship and book history.

APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Ann Weikel, Chair Susan Karant-Numr Charles A Le Guin Christine Thompson Women in early modem England were expected to marry, and then to become housewives. Despite the fact that nearly fifty percent of the population was in this position, little is known of the expectations and realities of these English housewives. This thesis examines both the expectations and actual lives of middling sort and gentry women in England between 1500 and 1640. The methodology employed here was relatively simple. The first step was to determine society's expectations of a good housewife. To do so the publish housewifery 2 advice books written for women were analyzed to define a model English housewife.

  • Women's Reading Habits and Gendered Genres, C.1600 – 1700
    Women’s Reading Habits and Gendered Genres, c.1600 – 1700 Hannah Jeans PhD University of York History July 2019 Abstract The history of early modern reading has long been based on narratives of long-term change, tracing the move from scholarly, humanist reading habits to the leisured reading of the eighteenth century. These narratives are normatively masculine, and leave little room for women and non-elite men. The studies of women readers that have emerged have largely been based on case studies of exceptional women. This thesis, then, provides the first diachonic study of women’s reading habits in the seventeenth century, offering a fresh perspective on the chronology of early modern reading. This encompasses an exploration of women’s participatio n in certain reading habits or cultures, such as ‘active reading’ methods and the rise of news culture. Moreover, there is an examination of the connections between reading and gender. This thesis proposes that reading was often used as a signifier of gender, and that by discussing their reading women entered into a discourse about femininity and identity. The sources, drawn largely from archival research across the UK and the USA, are wide-ranging, and piece together examples of reading, and representations thereof, from a variety of different seventeenth-century Englishwomen. This is a both a recovery project, and a reimagining of the field, complicating chronologies and approaches common to previous studies of reading. Ultimately, this thesis investigates both the practice and act of reading, and the nature of the ‘woman reader’ herself. It argues that our categories of analysis need to be complicated and nuanced when discussing the history of both reading and women, and proposes that the ‘woman reader’ i s far more complex and varied than is often realised.
