Review: Wonderful addition to the series - My only issue with the book is how it's printed and bound because I prefer cookbooks on better quality paper with a binding that can handle use in the kitchen. That said, it wasn't enough to make it 4 stars. Maybe 4.5, I rounded up. The recipes are well laid out with a lot of history. It makes an excellent tool of discussion and education with students who are reading the series or families who enjoy watching re-runs of the tv show. Some of the recipes don't adapt well to things you can easily get at the supermarket, but just reading those recipes is fun and modern cooks will find the difference in technique and ingredients very interesting. We are so used to being able to get so many alternative ingredients, to having 50 kinds of oil to choose from at the grocery store, that just the use of salt pork or bacon in so many common dishes is a good conversation. Being able to discuss cooking methods, economical measures, and working with what was available are all good things to explore with your children. I got it as a way of encouraging my daughter to read the original series. It's hard getting her interested in novels sometimes, but she loves cookbooks and historical recipes. Using it that way has worked, she's been slowly going through the series and enjoying it. Highly recommended for fans of the show or the books obviously, but also a good resource for people who enjoy reenacting history. Many of the recipes are accurate for the Civil War Era. Review: Super Cute - Incredibly cute cookbook. Recipes for foods that were mentioned in the books and the author goes into details from the time eat. Perfect for Little House on the Prairie fans. ## Features - Great product! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #34,910 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Children's Literary Biographies (Books) #20 in Children's American History of 1800s #43 in Children's Cookbooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,608 Reviews | ## Images ![The Little House Cookbook: Frontier Foods from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Classic Stories - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91i4Jw0VnUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful addition to the series *by S***N on March 19, 2010* My only issue with the book is how it's printed and bound because I prefer cookbooks on better quality paper with a binding that can handle use in the kitchen.

Recipes for foods that were mentioned in the books and the author goes into details from the time eat. Perfect for Little House on the Prairie fans. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic glimpse into meals of the pioneer days *by F***Y on September 12, 2015* Very good book. I initially thought there would be more illustrations, but I ended up enjoying the book anyways. I find the lack of clear cut, detailed illustrations help the reader (children especially) comprehend the recipes, use imagery for the Little House book excerpts, and focus more on accurately creating the finished product. You simply cannot "look" and create, but must truly focus on the reading material. The reading is fairly simple, laid out in plain text format. Each recipe lists the name, the excerpt from the original Little House books including Farmer Boy during which said recipe was mentioned, the ingredients and instructions. I appreciate how the author introduces herself and her inspiration for creating The Little House Cookbook and the great lengths she went to to accurately piece together recipes from the Frontier time era and her source credits. The recipes call for mostly staple items so most of them will be pretty easy to acquire (e.g., flour, sugar, butter, cream, eggs). However, some of the wild game recipes may be very difficult if not impossible to acquire ingredients for (e.g., fowl, roasted pig, starlings). Still, it's a good read and will come in handy for treats for friends and family. Already I have friends who are yearning for some of the dessert and bread recipes! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Little House Cookbook: Frontier Foods from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Classic Stories - My Book of Little House Paper Dolls: The Big Woods Collection - Little House Coloring Book: Coloring Book for Adults and Kids to Share (Little House Merchandise) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/286513-the-little-house-cookbook-frontier-foods-from-laura-ingalls-wilders](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/286513-the-little-house-cookbook-frontier-foods-from-laura-ingalls-wilders) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
