Barbra Walker is the author. It looks like a reprint from the one I have but that’s the book. There’s another one by Melissa Gilbert but the Walker one is actually an important book.
We have one her museum publishes of her own recipes — how she cooked on the farm. If you ever get a chance, the place in Mansfield is a great place to spend a day.

My wife wants to take a trip and hit all the places she lived before she and her husband settled at Rocky Ridge Farm and built their house. It reminds me of the house my grand dad built in Wyandotte County, Kansas at about that same era.
