Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Log Cabin Cooking by Barbara Swell, a book about Pioneer Recipes & Food Lore, is a wonderful book that can be enjoyed by anybody. With only 64 pages it is amazingly full of recipes, food history, kitchen proverbs, dining etiquette, rhymes (designed to help you remember recipes) and even food insults. From wheat to corn, from meats to beverages, from how to make your butter yellow and how many ways to use corn (corn, corn, corn) this is a great read.
It only took me a day yet I wanted more. Just my luck I bought Secrets of The Great Old-Timey Cooks by the author at the same time at the same store.
With 19th century photos and drawings to add to the pioneer feeling of the book. Don't read it unless you plan to go out right afterwards to eat good, old fashion, country cooking!
