Primer of Cooking and Housekeeping or Way Back in the Country Cookbook

Primer of Cooking and Housekeeping

Author: Elizabeth Cooper

As its name implies, this is a fundamental book on cooking and housekeeping. It has been very well received by the public and has recommended reviews from Library Journal and Booklist. We are currently out of dust jackets for the hardback but the spine and cover are gold stamped and we will give a 5% discount for hardback buyers that wanted a dustjacket.

This book tells what you should have learned from mother but never did. It's for the new housekeeper, the single housekeeper and there are tips for even the experienced housekeeper.

The Primer of Cooking section occupies most of the book and gives not only 250 plus basic recipes but also gives the basics behind the recipes. For example, anyone can follow a recipe for making a particular cake, but what is the basic recipe for making cakes? This book gives you the basics first and then gives examples.

This book tells all you need to get you going and tells you how to do it from scratch:
How to invent your own cake recipes.
Biscuits that always work.
How to wash a feather pillow.
Instant chocolate icing without cooking.
How to get the yellow out of white fabrics.

And much, much, more...

Way Back in the Country Cookbook: Recipes from Six Generations of East Texas Farm Cooking and the Stories behind Them

Author: Kay Wheeler Moor

Way Back in the Country, in the days of yesteryear, the biggest events around were two-week-long outdoor revivals and box suppers, where the most creative dinner pails took the prize-when food was always a key link in a family's sweet communion. In farm-rich Delta County, Texas, you'll still hear folks speak of the Three Red-Haired Miller Girls, who grew up in those bygone times and whose family remains legendary for its plentiful, inventive cooking. Enter the world of the Miller Girls and their farm kin, as their antics are woven around this fresh, eclectic recipe collection that will make your mouth water as you read. The mishaps and victories of the six generations that encompass these real-life characters will have you laughing, crying, and eager to cook their way-and perhaps to preserve a few recipes of your own. Written in the "Way Back" spirit of James C. Hefley and "Ozark Monk" Hefley, who popularized Hannibal's other "Way Back" books.
