I checked this book out of my local library and enjoyed it so much (Laura's gingerbread recipe is especially good) that I wanted to purchase a copy for my personal cookbook collection. I hope it is reprinted soon! Different from "The Little House Cookbook" in that these are not necessarily recipes from Laura's "Little House" books, but rather recipes from her personal cookbook she complied as an adult living in Mansfield, MO. This book is illustrated with beautiful color photos of Laura and Almanzo's home in Missouri (inside and out) and would be a great addition to my cookbook collection. The recipes themselves have a simple, country flair and appear to be easy to prepare (only tried a few but I do love to read cookbooks!)
I, too, checked this out of the library and tried the gingerbread recipe. Made it for the second time today for a family dinner and everyone raved about it. It is a lovely book full of comments about each recipe and wonderful illustrations. My 9 year old loved looking at it too. Can't wait to try more recipes...a good variety with old-fashioned sensibility.
You really have to see this book to know how beautiful it is. Not only is it a fabulous cookbook, but it's also a biography of stories from the Wilder household. The pictures are beautifully done mostly in color. There are some different photos of Laura and her family though out the book.
I have gotten huge complements on everything I have made in this book. I especially like the lemon flavored ice cream that dosen't requier an ice cream maker! If you are looking for a great country cook book this one is perfect. There is also information about Laura and Almanzo that is fun to read if you are a fan of The little house on the prarie books.
My Grandmother, born in 1880, lived with us until her passing in 1963 and how I loved entering our own 'little house in Michigan' to the smells of her cooking. Always something warm on the stove or in the oven... to greet the little girl who walked a mile home from school. Her recipes, as was the norm back then, were only recorded as ingredients... and my own attempts to recreate them after years of following stupid 'health' fads were, by guess and by golly, hit and miss. Now I have authentic methods to follow, of the foods my own gram prepared. I find so many of her 'ingredient lists' in this cookbook. Addressing this book specifically, I find healthy, simple foods, the kind that allowed folks of the day to live long and healthy, independent lives. Wheat is different now and I adjust her recipes to avoid it, taking a particular digestive aid when I cannot substitute and retain the integrity of the dish, but other than that, I am finding this, a cookbook to live with and use often for delicious, healthy comforting food that tastes good.
This cook book/memoir shipped quickly, and the condition was perfect, like new. I have enjoyed the book very much- any fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her "Little House" books probably will. These are recipes from her personal collection, and memories from her actual life.
Silly me, I expected LAURA'S recipes. Clearly, I was hoping for too much. Instead, the recipes have all been modernized. If I wanted modern, garbage recipes, I can find them easily enough. To have bought a book of recipes touted as "Laura's," and then open it up to find it calls for store-bought pie crust is incredibly disappointing.If you're looking for recipes inspired by those Laura used, you may find this book to be exactly your cup of tea. It was not mine, however.
I am very happy with my cookbook, and the photographs are beautiful. I am homeschooling my kids, using the Prairie Primer, and this will be an additional resource. It is also a very good cookbook. LOL
