Featuring authentic 18th and 19th century Moravian recipes, Preserving the Past: Salem Moravians’ Receipts & Rituals offers a captivating glimpse into the culinary and Christian heritage and the daily details of those be-hind the honored events that continue into the 21st century. As did other Southern women of their time, Salem "Sisters" kept and continually added to their "receipt books." Now Emily-Sarah Lineback, a Moravian descendant herself whose family ties go back to some of the first Moravians in North Carolina, has carefully gathered these original works into one body of work; this book includes traditional recipes, household formulas and cleaning tips, etiquette rules, and other information that the Salem women compiled for making their workload easier; likewise, Winkler Bakery’s Christian Winkler also preserved not only recipes but also helpful hints on running a successful confectioner’s shop. The first-ever published recipe/"receipts" compilation from documents housed within the Moravian Archives within (Old Salem) Winston-Salem, NC, part of the proceeds of every book goes to the Moravian Archives so that its preservation may continue. This combination cookbook/history book is sure to be a favorite not only with locals and Moravians but also with anyone who is fascinated with the continuing legacy of the Salem Moravians.
