My daughter is trying to find information about the kinds of cooking utensils that were used in Colonial America. I have done many searches, but there seems to be very little information to be found on line. Are there any experts here that can point me to some appropriate sites?

Thanks in advance from Desperate Dad!

You'll find a few pictures here: http://www.replitiques.com/history.html

This site has many old techniques for bread making etc; follow the links and you might get some pictures. http://waltonfeed.com/old/index.html

Good luck to both of you!

Try contacting places where they have working colonial villages - Like Williamsburg, Va., Charleston, S.C., etc. Food Network did a Christmas special in Williamsburg, where they cooked a meal with colonial implements. Good luck!

Good point Peachcreek, but sometimes the library just doesn't have the materials for some topics.

I just want to thank the people that helped! I appreciate your thoughtfulness. As far checking out a library, I would have, except the assignment specifically indicated she was to find the resources on-line, not in a book. I love libraries. I even married a librarian who is the daughter of a librarian.

It seems in every forum, there always people who aren't interested in helping others.

I know there is at least one person here whom you should never ask to borrow a cup sugar!

Thanks to all the knowledgeable people who took the time to respond. http://www.cheftalkcafe.com/ubb/wink.gif
