American cookery, or, The art of dressing viands, fish, poultry, and vegetables, and the best modes of making pastes, puffs, pies, tarts, puddings, custards, and preserves, and all kinds of cakes from the imperial plum to plain cake : adapted to this country and all grades of life / by Amelia Simmons, an American orphan.

First published in 1796, this is an early edition (perhaps the fifth) of the first cookbook written by an American. For the first time, British cooking methods are combined with indigenous American foods like pumpkin, cranberries, cornmeal, and turkey.
