The Military Wives' Cookbookis a collection of recipes, anecdotal stories, and vintage photographs tracing the history and unique contributions of American military wives. Beginning with an Independence Tea Party featuring the foods served by the women of Edenton, North Carolina, at a party on October 25, 1774, it recreates the scenes and foods that recount the stories of the commitments and sacrifice that military wives have given the nation for more than two hundred years. Presented in menu format, each chapter includes a story related to the recipes of the period ("A Colonial Thanksgiving" and "Christmas in the Confederate White House") and feature foods from around the world, including places like Morocco, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Japan, and Korea. The Military Wives' Cookbookis divided into six large sections: Teas and Coffees Buffets, Brunches, and Lunches A Taste of Home: Dinner Family Style Alfresco Dining Over There: An International Affair Home for the Holidays and Other Celebrations. The women, through whose eyes these stories are told and whose recipes are shared, are truly remarkable. They often balanced the responsibilities of maintaining home and hearth, raising a family, managing a business, andsupporting a war effort. In addition, they found time to extend themselves in friendship and hospitality to one another and to women in the places where they were stationed, earning them a well-respected reputation that continues to this day.

Advance Praise for "The G.I. Cook Book": "Ewww!" - Jo Hipkiss, Chef. "What is wrong with you?" - Tara Brown "That's just wrong." - Pete North, Historian "Dangerous information" - XYZ, Anonymous CIA Officer "Some things are best forgotten." "Fred" - WWII Vet You'll laugh, you'll cry... you'll throw up in your mouth a little. "The G.I. Cook Book" is a culinary trainwreck in four distressing courses. More than four hundred pages, hundreds of recipes... Destined to become a classic, the G.I. Cook Book has been suppressed by successive administrations for the past sixty years - and for good reason. This is the very book which made the humble army cook the most despised man in the unit. Pandora's Box is open and no amount of wishful thinking can put the genie back in the bottle. Every man, woman and child should know these recipes. Such information could save a life. "I'm so sorry" C. Brown, Esq.

An intersection of three inseparable features of military life: stories, family, and food. Food brings families and friends together, providing not only nourishment for our bodies, but also the glue that holds our families and society together. It is around the dinner table that we interact and important announcements are made—it was chow time in the foxholes when soldiers came to know each other, forming bonds so strong they would risk their own lives for one another. Remembering the smells and tastes of home support many in difficult times, those memories captured here in photographs and recipes. Home Front Cooking brings you a collection of treasured family recipes and photographs from military service members past and present, and their loved ones. Recipes are accompanied by brief stories and memories related to the recipe, military service, and/or lifestyle. The stories range from anecdotes passed down from great-great grandfathers who served in the American Civil War, to tales of terrified family members caught in a foreign country when John F. Kennedy was shot, to the stories of service members serving in Afghanistan and Iraq today. Many are heartwarming, some are humorous, most are bittersweet. All are written with a sense of pride and passion, and offer a glimpse of a lifestyle that is as unique as it is challenging. All authors’ profits will be donated to a charitable organization in support of veterans.
