HUBBY'S REVIEW:
| This is an old fashioned cook book taken mostly from either recipes from chuck wagons, restaurants, or ranches from the early 1900’s. I noticed quite a few dates of 1900- 1909. There are also some stories of trail life or life on a ranch, and there was one about Teddy Roosevelt when he was out west. The recipes themselves are just good old fashion stick to your ribs kind of food, and some of them reminded me of my grandmothers just simple but tasted good. I think being homemade had something to do with that. Has a sourdough starter, and even the pie crust and pancake are simple but remember they are using butter or lard so there is a different flavor. Some of the recipes also call for molasses which also has a different taste but a lot of people don’t use any more. I found this book to be a very good cookbook, and easy to follow directions. I got this book from netgalley. I gave it 4 stars. Follow us at www.1rad-readerreviews.com |
