📝 Description: Old West Baking Book

How did our ancestors bake without fresh ingredients or the thermometers over an open flame? Recipes have been updated and kitchen tested, including sourdough starters, cobblers, cakes, puddings, biscuits, and bread. Historical vignettes tell how chuck wagon chefs, ranch house cooks, and Native Americans did so much with so little. 13 color photos, 13 b&w photos; index.
