A tender homage to much-beloved grandmothers, this unique collection of delicious recipes will bring eager anticipation to your table and a smile on your face as you pore over the delightful stories woven throughout the recipes themselves. The collection of over 500 delicious recipes is prefaced by a fascinating family history of this quintessential American Midwest family. The compelling Hayes family story includes a Shawnee Indian raid on the family in the late 1700s, a poignant letter of the Civil War battle of Spotsylvania from a valiant 25-year old who would become the Mills family patriarch, and the Depression hardship and loss that forced the Wall family's 300 mile+ walk to the green pastures of central Minnesota and a better life. This book is a fascinating insight into a particular time and place and the stories will linger in your memory. The recipes themselves are sure to become your own family's "keeper recipes."
