From earliest times, nuts have been used in cookery, not merely as an embellishment to dishes but in them, and not just as an ingredient for sweets and such but for all sorts of dishes... (from the intro, Nuts and Their Uses)

{HISTORY} 

Part history book, part cookbook, and part lost recipe discoverer, this vintage 1967 World of Nut Recipes cookbook by writer Morton Gill Clark dissects culinary uses for nineteen commonly found nuts in the American landscape. How to cook them, store them and enjoy them, these recipes (some vegetarian but not all) feature interesting ways to incorporate one of nature's greatest proteins into your daily diet.  Recipes run the gamut across all meals of the day and situations from appetizers to desserts. Interesting ones include Pistachio Rice Stuffing, Pickled Walnuts, Creole Pralines, Coconut Spinach, Duck with Chestnuts, Old-Fashioned Butternut Cake, Brazil Nut Butter Sauce with Shrimp, Apricot Marzipan, Palace Bread, Almond Wine and the creatively named Poor Knights of Windsor with Almonds.
