Nothing like cozying up to a fireplace on a cold wintry night eating that mouth-watering sweet apple pie that grandma just baked - to warm your feathers and cause your toes to curl up.

There are over eighty recipes to try, from baking delicious pies to creating that perfect Gumbo soup.  The collection of recipes was taken from the 19th Century newspapers all over the United States.  The Tidbit section is filled with solutions that were used in the 1800s from softening bread to pickling cherries. There is a special section just for those who cook by intuition. This section is called, “Without Measure.” The recipes have few or no measurements. I believe you will find this both challenging and fun.
