About The 1st American Cookie Lady: Recipes From A 1917
Product Description The 1st American Cookie Lady is based on the 76-page cookie diary of Anna ÒCookieÓ Covington, which contains 208 delicious recipes from a WWI-era American kitchen. AnnaÕs journal, kept between 1917 and 1920, predates the first cookie recipe books published in the 1920Õs and just might be the first American collection of cookie recipes. Even though Barbara presents these recipes exactly as they appear in the original diary, she also shares helpful tips and hints on baking, updates for many of the recipes, fun cookie poems, baking superstitions, and dozens of photos and illustrations. About the Author Barbara began her baking career in Martinsburg, WV, on January 19th, 1962, when she whipped up her first batch of sugar cookies from her 4-H Club Pack-and-Snack cookbook. She is the author of a very popular series of historic cookbooks, including Log Cabin Cooking, Take Two and Butter 'Em While They're Hot, Secrets of the Great Old-Timey Cooks, The Lost Art of Pie Making, and others. Barbara lives in Asheville, NC, with her husband and their three children.
