This is an Award Winning Cookbook :) . Recipes are great, and You can try them. Are really nice. I m a raw vegan food lover, but my family like this cookbook :)

I have loved Laura Ingalls Wilder for as long as I can remember. I cannot believe I made it to age 40 without reading The Little House Cookbook! It is much more than a cookbook. There’s no way I will make a single recipe in the book, but I now have an immensely increased respect for the women and girls who labored intensely to feed their families. I’m ashamed of myself for ever complaining about the “work” of cooking. As I’ve read and reread the Little House books the food descriptions have often made my mouth water. Not so much anymore, now that I know the labor and ingredients that went into the foods. That’s a minor drawback of reading the cookbook, but the increased knowledge will certainly make my next Little House read-through even richer.

very fascinating to read but full of many things I definitely do Not want to eat! there are a few recipes I was intrigued enough by to contemplate making one day in future, but mostly I just thoroughly enjoyed the way foods from Laura’s novels translated into more modern terms. I’ve only read the first of Laura’s books, and I’m glad I read this before the rest, as I feel I’ll have a much greater understanding of them now!

Growing up, I was a die-hard Little House fan. The books, the show, the time period, the attire- I loved it all! So when I saw The Little House Cookbook for sale on @bookoutlet I knew I had to get myself a copy! Reading this was like being reacquainted with an old friend. ♥️ I will likely not try a majority of the recipes included but there are some Im excited to try! This book is rich in backstory and history and I loved that aspect of it. This ignited a passion in me to re-read through the series! For me, the Little House Cookbook was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars. A must read for any Little House fans.

Fun cookbook to read as well as educational

4* This is a fun historical cookbook. I love the food descriptions from the Little House books, and though I might not try many of these recipes, they were interesting to read. "And everyone was happy because now there would be milk to drink, and perhaps even butter for the cornbread."

A great companion piece to the Little House series. Laura talked about food quite a lot in her books, and this brings a new sense of understanding to them.

Also fun if you're really into cooking - shows how far we've come in this country!

I purchased this book from a used bookstore last week. I was thrilled when I saw it because as a young girl my grandmother gave me a boxed set of The Little House books to read and I watched Little House on the Prairie growing up. I enjoyed how the author used excerpts from the various books that talked about food and then included a recipe to go with it. The history throughout was also interesting. I don’t know that I will be looking to cook too many of these recipes but I did find a few that I will give a try and I enjoyed reading the book.

This was a fun addition to the little house series. I actually tried a few of the recipes. The baked beans and Johnny cake both turned out amazing!

Recently, I really enjoyed reading The Wilder Life. by Wendy McClure - in it she mentioned The Little House Cookbook. I hadn't thought of it in years, but I remember getting it out of the library multiple times when I was in elementary school. I was pleased to discover it's still out there! The research Barbara Walker did into the foods that appear in the Little House books is very impressive, and makes for interesting reading, although not for the squeamish or the vegetarian (and I'm the latter).

It's a bit of a funny combination, because it is a children's book, and Walker will occasionally refer to the need to get an adult to do something - but it's so incredibly improbable that a child would be making these recipes. Well, or that anyone would be making most of them, as one sees for example from her suggestion that the best way to recreate blackbird pie these days is to hunt starlings instead. Or the cautions about the dangers of hot lard. Maybe I'll try snacking on raw turnip slices sometime, though.

This book! Oh, this book! Five Stars is such an insult to it! As someone who practically grew up devouring the Little House books, it was always a source of curiosity and fascination to me as to exactly what the Ingalls and Wilder families devoured. And it's all here in this wonderful book, nearly every single food or recipe that even had only a passing mention in the entire set. Everything from the vanity cakes that Ma made for the country party in On the Banks of Plum Creek to the Ice cream that Almanzo Wilder and his siblings cooked up when their parents went away on holiday leaving them in charge of the house and farm in Farmer Boy. The cottage cheese balls that Ma made for Mary's last supper home before going to collage, the 'Hard Winter Bread' that kept the Ingalls family alive during the months of blizzards and slow starvation during the Long Winter, the vinegar pie that Almanzo tried at the county fair, the fried chicken from the fourth of July dinner, the molasses-on-snow candy that Laura and Mary made in the Big Woods, and even the 'Bean Porridge Hot' that they sang about in Little House on the Prairie. No Little House collection is complete without this addition to complement all the foods and recipes mentioned and given in the series. I also loved the way the author kept with the Little House theme throughout the book, with nearly every recipe being preceded by an excerpt from one or more of the books themselves, and the charming, original illustrations found in the series being scattered generously throughout the book to complement the recipes given. My only regret is that I didn't have it as a child while I was reading all those books for the first time. An absolute must-have for all Little House fans!
