What it is:
A unique historical cookbook that pays tribute to the contributions of American military wives from the American Revolution to modern day.
Why we love it:
On this day that we honor the sacrifices that military men have made for our country, it seems fit to also honor the silent contributions of their wives. Featuring recipes, anecdotes, and vintage photographs, "At Freedom's Table" recreates the scenes and foods that recount the commitments and sacrifices that military wives have given the nation for more than two hundred years. Each chapter includes a story that relates to the recipes that follow, placing them in a historical context. The women whose stories are told and whose recipes are shared are truly remarkable. They courageously balanced the responsibilities of maintaining home and hearth, raising a family, managing family businesses, and supporting a war effort.
