    This charming book includes plenty of recipes and information about what people ate in the 1800’s and how they prepared their food. The book is subtitled as: “Frontier Foods from Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Classic Stories.” You’ll learn about social customs, food storage, and how they prepared a variety of recipes. You’ll also get to try these out for yourself since modern explanations are included. Two of my favorite recipes are: Heart Shaped Cakes (p. 200) and Light Biscuits (p. 72)! In Chapter 8, “Thirst Quenchers and Treats,” starts with a charming sentence:

    “The world Laura entered in 1867 was a world without wrapped candy bars, canned soda pop, packaged ice cream and frozen layer cakes.”

    Readers get quite an education from this valuable book!
