Cooking Aboard Your RV Book

This short book contains Colonial and westward migration (USA) recipes from the days when nothing was readily available except game and homegrown produce. When pioneering families settled somewhere, they tried to do so within a couple of days' ride to and from a store or outpost so that they could at least get some sort of coffee beans and other "nice-to-have" provisions (such as sugar). Supplies were used sparingly and "stretched" because of their general unavailability. Many of these recipes feed "a cast of many" because of being produced for ranchhands or large families. I copied down some for fun--such as "Johnnycakes" and "Fairy Cookies"--which I plan to try soon. There was also a fruit cobbler which sounded quite yummy and was easy to make!

There were quite a few nice stories about, quotations from--and even some photos of--pioneering and wilderness/prairie living. I rec'd this book from my friend Donna, who is also a member of Goodreads and The Folded Corner group. Thanks, Donna!
