Description

Interested in history and traditional pioneer kitchens, early cooking  methods, and original metals used in pots during the early years of  America, Sara became obsessed with the crafts of copper- and tin-smithing for kitchenware—specialty trades that are nearly extinct in the United States today. She embarked on a journey to locate artisans nationwide familiar with the old ways who could teach and inspire her.  She began making her own cookware not only to connect with the artisanal traditions of our nation’s past, but to adopt the pioneer kitchen to cook and eat healthier today. Why cook fantastic, healthful food in a cheap pan coated with toxic chemicals and inorganic elements? she asks.  If you buy one high-quality item made from natural materials, it can serve your family for generations.

Richly illustrated with dozens of stunning color photographs, Copper, Iron, and Clay  showcases each material, exploring its fascinating history, fundamental  science—including which elements work best for various cooking methods—and its practical uses today. It also features fascinating interviews with industry insiders, including cookware artisans, chefs,  entrepreneurs, and manufacturers from around the world. In addition,  Sara provides recipes from her own kitchen and some of her famous chef  friends, as well as a few historical favorites—all which are optimized  for particular kinds of cookware.
