Food in Colonial Massachusetts
I’m having a lot of fun learning about food in Colonial Massachusetts. Not that I like to eat or anything. There’s a lot to discover about the types of foods that were available then, how they were processed, and how the meals were cooked.
I started following a few food historians, and when I see how they spend their time recreating recipes from the past with only ingredients and utensils available from that time period I think I may have missed my calling. In my next life I will be a food historian.

Where Did Goodwives Find Their Recipes?
In the Massachusetts Bay Colony, cooks relied heavily on recipes from popular English authors such as Robert May’s cookbook from 1685 and Gervase Markham’s English Huswife from 1615 (http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodcolonial.html – 1690salem).
Meals in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were a unique combination between the eating habits the colonists brought with them from England and the ingredients available to them in New England.
Popular foods in Salem in the 1690s were meat, bread, and other dishes made of wheat and oat. Root vegetables like turnips were also popular. Since Massachusetts is located along the Atlantic coast, colonists relied heavily on seafood, and fish such as cod, herring, bass, sturgeon, mackerel, clams, and lobster were often eaten (though Puritans didn’t like lobster).
Fish had to be salted to be preserved, and salt was either imported or gathered from the sea. Soups, roasts, bacon, ham, salt pork, salads, puddings, and pies were all common, while fruits and vegetables were served fresh or preserved.
Salem cooks would have used a combination of local ingredients such as corn, clams, squash, beans, cranberries, and potatoes while taking advantage of the wild game, domesticated hogs, nuts, wild berries, and fruits such as pears, cherries, and plums.
Wealthier residents (including James and his father John) would have had imported goods such as tea, coffee, sugar, rum, citrus fruits, and spices. Apple orchards were established early and the plentiful apples were used to create a low-alcohol cider that was the main drink for the colonists. (From Daily Life in Colonial New England by Claudia Durst Johnson).
As I searched for recipes that Elizabeth might have made while living in Salem, I discovered this recipe for a bride’s cake similar to the one James and Elizabeth would have served at their wedding in 1690:

Reviews for "From Creepy to Chic: Transform Yourself with Voodoo Doll Makeup"
1. John - 1 star
This voodoo doll makeup was a complete disappointment. The quality of the makeup was terrible, and the colors looked patchy and uneven on my face. The accessories that came with it were cheap and fell apart within minutes. Overall, I expected much better from this product and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a quality voodoo doll makeup.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
I was excited to try this voodoo doll makeup for a Halloween event, but it turned out to be a letdown. The instructions were unclear, and it took me forever to figure out how to properly apply the makeup. Even then, the end result looked nothing like a voodoo doll - the colors were dull and did not create the desired effect. I would advise others to look for better alternatives instead of wasting their money on this subpar product.
3. Michael - 2 stars
As someone who enjoys experimenting with special effects makeup, I was eager to try this beautiful voodoo doll makeup. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The quality of the makeup was mediocre, and it was difficult to achieve the desired look. The accessories provided were flimsy and lacked detail. Overall, I was left feeling dissatisfied with this product and would not recommend it to others looking for a realistic voodoo doll makeup.
