If you think you know New England cookery, you might want to take a gander at the Beatrice McIntosh Cookery Collection website. Located at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the collection contains almost 7500 books, pamphlets, and ephemeral items related to this aspect of New England culture. Visitors to the site can search the entire collection, or browse through the "Subjects" area, which includes works divided into topics like "seafood", "historical", and "ethnic". Moving on, visitors can browse the cookbooks by place or decade, and here they will find items that include a guide to preparing cranberries from the American Cranberry Exchange and a wine list from the Lafayette House in Foxboro, Massachusetts. Also, visitors can download "cookbookmarks" to use for their own reading pleasure.
