Book Reviews of Log Cabin Cooking: Pioneer Recipes & Food Lore
Book Review: A good history but skip the recipes
Summary: 2 Stars
My brother received this book as a gift and he immediately passed it on to me. I'm a pretty good chef with about 300 recipes posted on Recipezaar where I have a 4.5 star overall rating.
I scanned the recipes in this work and there are quite a few incongruities in the ingredients for today's cooks -- yes, the historical information is interesting but unless you want to know how food tasted to our wilderness pioneers, get a regular cookbook for cooking. See my listmania list here:

I made two of the recipes, just to satisfy myself that I wasn't being a know-it-all and, as I suspected, these dishes lack a great deal. One in particular, the baked beans, (which I had fostered some hopes for), were the worst baked beans I ever tasted, practically inedible.
So, this book makes for interesting reading but just don't try to use it unless you have a cast-iron stomach.
