A Blog on Food and History

18thC Cuisine is a blog that manages to combine two of my interests: history and food. Even when I know I don't like the food (e.g. anything licorice-flavoured), I love reading about it. This blog invites readers to "Explore with me 18thC French cuisine as a habitante in Nouvelle France may have cooked." She works her way through 18th century recipes and techniques (e.g. sugaring off) and provides the old recipes first in the original French and then in translation. This blog has wonderful links to other food blogs (as well as sites with instructions on how to write food blogs). There are also links to sites on 18th century history, cooking tools, kitchen gardens, and blogs/sites in French. As background to the time she's interested in, here's a link to a very good site on Nouvelle France (also known as New France or Quebec). Via The Old Foodie through Epicurious.com.
