This revised, four-color edition of The Farmer's Wife Cookbook
features country-kitchen recipes that appeared in Midwestern America's
Farmer's Wife magazine between 1893 and 1939.
Beloved by home cooks since the magazine was first published, the
recipes resonate now more than ever as many of us--from the countryside,
city, and in between--return from quick meals on the go to slow,
scratch cooking; fresh and wholesome ingredients (often homegrown,
self-made, or from the farmer's market); and the tradition of Sunday
dinners and eating together with family and friends.
Best Recipes from the Farmer's Wife Cookbook brings together the most
popular, easy-to-follow recipes and variations along with dozens
of menus that originated in farm kitchens nationwide and appeared on
the pages of the magazine over its publication around the start of the
twentieth century. This new edition is illustrated with color
photographs and completely redesigned to appeal to a modern-day
