Fantastic October 21, 2005

Utilizing recipes from a diary that Anna Covington (from 1917 - 1920) created to share with her children, Barbara Swell has authored another book adding pieces of history, art and updating some of the recipes, The 1st American Cookie Lady: Recipes From a 1917 Cookie Diary!
Another book filled with black and white photos of people of its time, advertisements selling hair products, lore and tips. I have to say, when I read Swell's books, I feel like I am living in the early 20th century! This book even advises you on how to take care of your family with food shortages from World War I!
There are several tradional recipes, as well as some old-time recipes that most of us have either not heard of before, or have long forgotten. You will find recipes for Rock Cookies, Molasses Cookies, Snickerdoodles and Wine Jumbles!
If you know of anyone looking for Grandma's cookie recipe, check this book out! If the recipe is not in there, I am sure you will find several in there that you will love!
