"To the Shakers, preparing food was ever a joyous task. Making dumplings or baking a pie was done with all the zest for living that they put into building a new meeting house.
"Shaker cookery has been famous since early Federal Period, when the "kitchen sisters," who dedicated their hands to work and their hearts to God, devised the essential American way of feeding families of their large communities. The Shakers were the first to can food commercially in America because the reputation of those unmatchable ingredients and recipes were nationwide.
