Cookbooks as printed primary sources can provide insight for historians of rural America. The humble volumes carry important evidence about people's interactions with their environment and the society around them. Most are produced by women and thus offer significant messages about gender as well. Although most cookbooks came from cities, some do exist from rural areas. Analyzing their structure and content shows much about how rural housewives thought about food and about their communities. The Fannin County Home demonstration Club’s Cook Book (1933) is an excellent example of a rural cookbook that can be parsed for evidence about life in Northeast Texas during the Great Depression.

食谱作为农村研究的资源

烹饪书作为印刷的主要来源可以为美国农村的历史学家提供洞察力。简陋的书卷载有关于人们与环境和周围社会互动的重要证据。大多数是由女性制作的，因此也提供了关于性别的重要信息。尽管大多数食谱来自城市，但也有一些来自农村地区。分析她们的结构和内容，可以看出农村家庭主妇如何看待食物和她们的社区。Fannin 县家庭示范俱乐部的烹饪书（1933 年）是农村烹饪书的一个很好的例子，可以解析它以获取有关大萧条期间德克萨斯州东北部生活的证据。
