1905 Cookbook--Food for Body and Soul

More than simply a cookbook, 1905 Cookbook-Food for Body and Soul combines delectable and amusing recipes with a glimpse into the lives of those courageous pioneer women who left family, friends and the comforts of first homes to homestead a hostile and barren landscape before Oklahoma became a state. Illustrated with 200 vintage photos and 1905 advertising of local merchants offering everything from cook stoves promising to cook perfect biscuits in 3 minutes to buggies, and corsets to artificial glass eyes, this captivating collection contains more than 300 recipes. A sampling of the favorites includes salt rising bread, corn fritters, graham gems, ginger tea cakes, Oklahoma's Delight, hot slaw, potato stuffing for goose or duck, cream sweet breads, snow eggs suet pudding and rusk calling for 2 teacupsful of sponge. These recipes with cameos of the individual contributors will renew your hope, and inspire your faith as they transport you back into the hearts and lives of everyday pioneer heroines through our universal passion for food, family and community fellowship. Each brave contributor overcame insurmountable obstacles in this scary new land. Each leaves behind a legacy of love and faith and darned good cooking to future generations of today's hungry "pioneers."
