Old SHAKER Recipes

Historical notes tell us that twenty-one Shaker communities were established from 1774 through Civil War times, from Maine to Georgia and as far west as Ohio and Kentucky. Shaker cooks were skilled in the use of herbs and passed along a creative collection of 62 recipes which include breads, breakfasts, desserts, meat & vegetable dishes, soups, salads, preserves and candies.

Among the recipes found in this Bear Wallow cookbook are: Strawberry Nut Bread; Apple Breakfast Cake; Eliza's Buttermilk Cookies; Asparagus Pie; Herb Vegetable Pot; Shaker Chicken Pudding; Oven-Baked Stew.
