The modern food and beverage industry dates back to the displays of canning and preserves at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. What was new and life-changing for visitors to the Columbian Exposition has, more than a century later, sterilized modern cooking practices and damaged both flavor and the environment.
Based on a 19th-century manuscript restored and edited by the CGR Publishing Restoration Workshop (Dante’s Inferno: Retro Hell-Bound Edition, Milton’s Paradise Lost: Gustave Doré Retro Restored Edition,) the Old Time Kitchen antique cookbook restores and preserves more than 500 classic recipes of meats, vegetables, puddings, confectionaries, wines, pickles, herbs, made meals, and more.
