Book Review: The Little House Cookbook by Barbara M. Walker

The Little House Cookbook: Frontier Foods From Laura IngallsWilder’s Classic Stories
by Barbara M. Walker (j641.5 Wal)

As a longtime fan of the Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little House” series, I was pleased to find that someone had compiled a book of recipes for foods featured in the Little House books. What makes this book such a gem is the collection of quotes from the books as well as descriptions of the food and cooking from pioneer times. Step-by-step instructions on how to re-create the recipes are included along with excellent photographs of the foods themselves and the famous Garth Williams’s illustrations featured in Laura’s books. This book is written more for adults than for children, but with assistance, older kids should be able to make some of these recipes if they can find the ingredients.
