I have to admit, you can't really make these recipes for 25 cents today. BUT, you can learn a lot about cooking in the 1800s by reading this novel.Whether you want to discover how to clean a rabbit, take the feathers off a chicken, or use the parts of cows, sheep, and pigs that aren't in your cookbooks of today, you will have fun with this.We had a neighbor growing up with a paper copy of a similar cookbook, and would spend hours laughing. Now you can laugh on your Kindle (whatever version you have).The indexing and organization are better suited to paper (thus the removal of one star), but teachers who are teaching their students about American History might find some great passages that will keep their students intrigued.
