Description: "I remember the exact date. On Monday, August 7, 1922, using pen and ink and my best penmanship, I painstakingly wrote 'Brown Stone Front Cake. Boil together slowly 2 squares of chocolate, the yolks of 2 eggs and 1/2 cup sweet milk...' on the lined pages of a string-stitched, five-by-eight-inch universal notebook."
So begins over sixty years of recipes and reminiscences from the life of Nebraska farm wife Alice Mickish Hendrickson, as told to her daughter E. Mae Fritz. Chronicling Midwestern farm life from the 1920s to the present, Prairie Kitchen Sampler offers up over 375 melt-in-your-mouth recipes including Alice's specialties.
Here are recipes like Best Ever Cinnamon Rolls, Never-Fail Chocolate Frosting, Angel Biscuits, Old-Fashioned Custard Pie, as well as traditional hearty fare like "Real" Fried Chicken, Lazy Way Baked Beans, and Tillie's Featherlight Dumplings. Now, you too can preserve the past and relive the tastes of a simpler time.
