4 dishes from New Hampshire, cooked the way the place cooks them.
A cake doughnut leavened with soda and powder, where two cups of sweet cider are boiled down to half a cup before they go anywhere near the flour.
The stripped cobs boiled for twenty minutes to make the broth, salt pork and onion for the fat, and no flour anywhere — the chowder of the towns that had no clams.
Cornmeal cooked into scalded milk, sweetened with molasses and ginger, and left in a slow oven for three hours until it sets dark and soft.
Corned beef simmered until it gives, then the root vegetables cooked in its broth in the order they take to soften, and the beets kept out of the pot so the dinner stays its own colour.
