One of my favorite childhood authors was Laura Ingalls Wilder, and as an adult I enjoyed getting a peek into her life on Rocky Ridge Farm in Missouri through this book. The book contains her recipes found in a scrapbook after her death along with beautiful photos of the house and farm where she and her husband lived for decades.
The narratives include anecdotes about Laura and her love of cooking, farming, family and neighbors. A reader learns about her love of entertaining and her creativity when hostessing parties, teas, and dinners at the farm.
The recipes are downhome, simple fare with lots of recipes using apples because Rocky Ridge Farm had a huge apple orchard.
The information shared about Laura's start and success as an author is interesting. I find her to be an inspiring, creative, independent woman!
Highly recommended to fans of the 'Little House' books, history buffs and cooks who enjoy country cooking.
Borrowed from the local public library.
