Open hearth and historic cooking

hearthcook.com

This historic cooking web page contains links to sites on the Internet that pertain to hearth, stove and other pre WWI forms of cooking. Included are over 200 e-text historic cookbooks and 300 museums with cooking demonstrations. I will continue to add sites to the links and new topics. All the photographs (and "wallpapers") were taken by me unless otherwise stated. THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS IS NOW LISTED UNDER "MONTHLY TOPICS". Please contact me, [e-mail at bottom of this page] with any additions or corrections.... Pat Reber
