My partner has a yearly weird food party, and, as usual, my problem with what to bring is overchoice. This year, I finally own a copy of Square Meals by Jane and Michael Stern (who are perhaps better known for Road Food).

Got cold, left over beef? Some Scallop Shells just lyin' around?

This Cookbook was published in about 1828. My copy, a modern reprint, is a combination of two Cookbooks and purports to be the first "American" cookbooks.
