Now, South Carolina University Press has a LOT of historical cookbooks. I decided I’d check out the house presses of the Big 10 Universities, and see what I could find. Search by subject and if you can’t find cookbook, search for food studies.
University of Illinois – At least 3 books I’d consider buying.
Indiana University – lots of drinking guides
Iowa University – Not much of interest to me
Michigan State University – 5 Civil war food books
Michigan University – 3 food studies books
University of Minnesota – 5 cookbooks. (if you click on them, more cookbooks are linked on the find similar section)
Ohio State University – zip.
Pennsylvania State University – Some of those look interesting
Purdue University – they really put the science in food science with page turners like “Principles of aseptic processing and packaging”
University of Wisconsin – zip.
