The Little House Cookbook

Hello, loyal readers! Welcome back to the LHCO blog.

So I'm a bit late to the discussion here, but I'm curious about a couple things: Did any of you use Google Reader to organize the blogs you follow? What service are you switching to now that that's being discontinued?

On to the real blog post for today.

When I post about a recipe or food, I usually turn to the Little House Cookbook as my first reference. The author, Barbara M. Walker, basically cooked her way through the "Little House" books to write the cookbook, so it contains a TON of historical background on obscure foods that would otherwise be very hard to replicate. Even if you don't plan on cooking some of the more outlandish dishes in the cookbook, it's still interesting to learn about how the Ingalls family prepared their food and what was "normal" to eat back in Laura Ingalls Wilder's day.

If you have any interest in old-fashioned foods as they appear in the "Little House" books, I would HIGHLY recommend investing in a copy of the Little House Cookbook. You'll find plenty of recipes, tons of historical information about all the foods, and references to the book passage where each food was mentioned - enough to satisfy any "Little House" fan's appetite for frontier foods.

What is your favorite food from the "Little House" books?
