Gluten Free Root and Leaf

Including Home Cooking for the Cap'n Crunch Generation (Late Boomer/Early Gen-X childhood comfort foods, Starbucks era Cupholder and Desktop Cuisine, Anime munchies, and neo-hippie Crunchy Granola fare), Atomic Can-Opener (Cold War Retro and Suburban Favorites from the Space Age), and Recession Proof (Depression and Wartime Coping)

What you see here is the framework and first bits of content brought over from the word processor cookbook I've been working in bits and pieces on since my son was born. For more on that journey: http://www.advancenet.net/jscole/sahm.htm

I've been collecting favorite recipes, like zillions of other people. But even more interesting to me, even if to no one else, I've been collecting context. I am very curious about where particular recipes came from. What era did they emerge from? What mentality, what new household technology demanded their creation or adaptation, what fashionable ethnicity or fantasy provided the flavor?

In addition, as you click on various ingredients in the recipe, in depth information about the ingredients is linked in. Black Pepper is not merely a spice that flavors a gravy. It inspired renaissance movements of capital and launched ships. It powered trade routes. It also has medicinal characteristics. I'm interested in all of that.

I did another project several years ago that was a much smaller scope, though it is still a little unfinished. SCA Potluck Recipes. http://www.advancenet.net/jscole/potlucktoc.htm. Lots of history and variations. But beware of the link rot when you visit. For various reasons, I dropped out of the SCA. But my husband still requests the Lamb Ball Soup recipe every winter.

At any rate, this is a very new wiki. Please be gentle. (Feedback to jscole at advancenet.net)
