Before all had been reprints of European works, written by men and written by men cooks. 'American Cookery' published the earliest clear pairing of our Thanksgiving classics, cranberries and Turkey and the first recipes anywhere using cornmeal as the primary ingredient. Amelia also gave us the very first recipes for pumpkin pie, Indian pudding, rice pudding, and gingerbread. Here, too, were the first words of 'Cookie' and 'Slaw' - both borrowed from the Dutch in America.
