Not just a cookbook

The Little House cookbook is more than a collection of recipes. It's full of historical food tidbits. Each recipe if prefaced with an exerpt from the Little House book where that food is mentioned. This feature lets you know you are recreating a dish that Laura described in her book. Since Ma did not write down her recipes, Barbara Walker had to do research to find similar recipes to those described in the Little House series. But because of the explainations regarding the new recipes, there is no suspicion of unauthentic foods. Plus, they taste great. The white bread is a family favorite. This is 100% recommended for Little House fans and those wanting to explore frontier foods.

The Little House Cookbook

Fantastic! I am a docent at an 1800's prairie settlement and I use some of the recipes in the summer kitchen. The lemonade was recently a big hit!

I love LH books but...

I love LH books and read them before there was a TV show- I remember how at age 10 I enjoyed reading about Laura and Mary in the Big woods and how facinating it was to read about playing in the attic among all the food and goods the family had in storage. Laura Ingalls Wilder was so decriptive about the foods and acitivities of her childhood that it made you hungry for what they were about to eat and you felt a part of what was going on.
I am an avid reader and a history major and found the "Frontier Foods" book boring.
I was looking forward to using the kitchen to help get my children interested in history.I was disappointed with this book - Since it is called a cook book I was expecting a more recipes, of foods from the past. What I received was a book about a settler's life but much less interesting than the LH books. Also, the book has a good number of Garth Williams wonderful illustrations but it could have used more,since it is supposed to be a cook book for children.

Lot's of fun

This book is a lot of fun for the people who love food, the little house on the prairie, and the readings of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
With this it also has the extra of being a cook book with some great finger licking old fashion food.

The Little House Cookbook

Interesting and informative as to how people in Laura Ingalls time ate. The struggles of providing in those times involved far more than just running to the corner market. Nothing was wasted, everything had a use and the whole family became involved with the work. To eat in those days was work intensive. The book opens up a new appreciation for what we have now.
