Prairie Kitchen : Recipes, Poems and Colorful Stories from the "Prairie Farmer" Magazine, 1841-1900
Bok av Rae Katherine Eighmey
Prairie homes of the 1800s were often lonely places far from friends and neighbours. Farm families -- anchored by strong women -- became legendary for their hardy self-reliance and no-nonsense wisdom. The Prairie Farmer magazine was sometimes a woman's only resource for advice and ideas on how to make do. In this fascinating collection -- drawn from the Prairie Farmer from 1841 to 1900 -- are dozens of recipes for such down-home dishes as Green Corn Soup, Smothered Chicken, and Providence Cake, interspersed with tips and colourful stories submitted by the magazine's loyal readers.
