I checked this book out of my local library and enjoyed it so much (Laura's gingerbread recipe is especially good) that I wanted to purchase a copy for my personal cookbook collection. I hope it is reprinted soon! Different from "The Little House Cookbook" in that these are not necessarily recipes from Laura's "Little House" books, but rather recipes from her personal cookbook she complied as an adult living in Mansfield, MO. This book is illustrated with beautiful color photos of Laura and Almanzo's home in Missouri (inside and out) and would be a great addition to my cookbook collection. The recipes themselves have a simple, country flair and appear to be easy to prepare (only tried a few but I do love to read cookbooks!)

I, too, checked this out of the library and tried the gingerbread recipe. Made it for the second time today for a family dinner and everyone raved about it. It is a lovely book full of comments about each recipe and wonderful illustrations. My 9 year old loved looking at it too. Can't wait to try more recipes...a good variety with old-fashioned sensibility.

You really have to see this book to know how beautiful it is. Not only is it a fabulous cookbook, but it's also a biography of stories from the Wilder household. The pictures are beautifully done mostly in color. There are some different photos of Laura and her family though out the book.

Book arrived within the time frame the seller originally stated. It was in great condition with no marks or folds on the pages. Dust jacket was from library stock which was great because it kept the original book cover in mint condition. Will order from this seller again without hesitation!
