1905 Cookbook: Food for Body and Soul & Giveaway

Heavenly Patchwork Books, by Judy Howard has published many wonderful books that help raise funds for great causes.  Heavenly Patchwork, Heavenly Patchwork II, Centennial Stitches, and Thanking our Troops are full of heartwarming stories & photos of beautiful quilts. 

Judy has recently released a new book "1905 Cookbook: Food for Body and Soul", which is actually a re-print.  Like her other books, this cookbook features many heart-warming stories of early homesteaders and is illustrated with vintage photos, along with 1905 advertisements. 
The section "Slices of Pioneer Life" certainly make you appreciate what many Pioneers went thru to prepare to migrate West, as well as what it was like to be a Pioneer.  Interesting to read insights on life in Indian Territory too.  And Judy also included a fun read "History of the Apron".

And many of the recipes look yummy:  Doughnuts, Snowdrift Cake, Cream Tomato Soup, etc..  Of course, there are some recipes that also reflect on the period when this book was originally published and, while we may not use the recipe today, certainly are fun to see!

    Indeed @Susan, the donut just grabbed my attention and refuses to release me !~! The book looks like lots of fun; my husband prefers strongly yeast products as opposed to cake-like consistencies and this book may have that type of yummy nestled within.

    That cookbook sounds fun. It would fit right in with my 1889, 1896 & 1910 treadles. I like the sound of that 'Snowdrift' cake.
