"A slender 65-page compendium of pioneer era recipes, Log Cabin Cooking by Barbara Swell also offers tips on hearth cooking, food insults, pioneer dining etiquette, kitchen provers, cake superstitions, jump rope rhymes, and "Biscuit Sayings".

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!

  • "Log Cabin Cooking" is a delightful multi-level-experience back in time.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find this to be so much more than just a primitive cookbook. The added guidelines of pioneer etiquette, kitchen proverbs, food insults, etc... make it a delight to read, and will enlighten you as to the humorous/peculiar ways of our ancestors. Bless their hearts, they had it so hard, in those days, that they needed a little humor to maintain their sanity! The added bonus of the wonderful photos, from the 1800's, were icing on the cake! I enjoyed this little book of 64 pages so much that I immediately went on line and bought another one to give as a gift to someone that I knew would enjoy it, as much as I did. ... As the little white haired lady skimmed through her gift/book I knew I had found a treasure, for her, as she reminisced of days past, and times she ...
