My Prairie Cookbook: Memories and Frontier Food from My Little House to Yours Hardcover – September 16, 2014

Melissa likes butter. Three pounds are needed for her chicken and dumplings and twice she assures you that’s not a typo.She’s uses pounded and flattened ribeye steaks breaded with flour for County fried steaks. It does taste a lot better than those banquet frozen meals. Missy must own stock in a cattle farm.The big reveal is what they were actually eating during the supper scenes of Little House on Prairie. Spoiler alert!!! KFC extra crispy. Dinty Moore Beef Stew (canned) and canned refrigerator biscuits. She apparently omitted the gourmet meals that she cooked for Rob Lowe as a teenager. Please see her autobiography for around 200 pages on her obsession with the one who got far far away and remembers little of his time in Missys world. See his book for not One word of her.

I really bought this book because of the photos and background stories of one of my all time favorite TV shows, "Little House on the Prairie", written by my favorite character, of course, Laura. Who knew it would also turn out to be a very fine cookbook! With great photos, easy to follow directions, and wonderful recipes of yummy, comfort food, it's quickly becoming one of my very favorite cookbooks! So far I've tried 4 recipes and all have been a success. The Sausages with Apples were delicious, (I would just suggest half the amount of cinnamon), best Rice Pudding I've ever made, perfect Gingerbread, and the Real Deal Lasagna was voted by my family as outstanding! Those four alone are worth the price of admission, but there are many more I'm anxious to try such as her Dinner Rolls, Corn Bread with Scallions, Creamed Spinach with Bacon and Shallots, YUM, ... you get the drift... they all look terrific! This is a wonderful book, extremely well written with humor and generous praise and affection for her fellow actors. A fun and nostalgic read, but by all means, try the recipes! They are surprisingly good! Well done Melissa! You are not only a marvelous actress and a classy lady, but you write a darn good cookbook!

Loved the book, packed nicely, seller shipped promptly, and it arrived in good condition.

Just adding to the glowing reviews for Melissa Gilbert's My Prairie Cookbook. Part-cookbook, part-scrapbook complete with photos and newspaper clippings, memories include "Little House: The Early Years," "My Pa," "My Top Ten Favorite Little House Episodes," "Little House: The Later Years," "Bloopers and Goofs," "Frequently Asked Questions," and "After Little House." In interviews Melissa seems so down-to-earth and in this book so does her recipes and writing. I have not tried any recipes yet, but the instructions seem "no fuss" and have ingredients readily available. I am a non-meat eater and there is plenty in here for me. This book is printed and bound in the United States and beautifully put together. This will make a great birthday or holiday gift for the Little House fan in your life, or in my case, I purchased it as an early birthday gift for myself! Well done, Melissa! Kudos to photographer Dane Holweger as well.

I got this as a gift for my dear friend but as i was looking through it, I fell in love with it and wanted to keep it for myself. It is full of delicious looking recipes and the paper and binding is high quality. It looks like it is straight out of Little House on the Prairie and will not disappoint. It is the perfect gift for a LHP fan or for anyone that loves cooking and I highly recommend it! I did end up giving it to my friend and she absolutely loved it! Her face lit up and she could not wait to read each page and try all of the recipes. Since then, she has enjoyed cooking from this book and has a fun time doing it.

This cookbook is fantastic! But wait...the best part is that Melissa Gilbert ("Half-pint") speaks about the different dishes and informs you what it was like growing up on the set of Little House on the Prairie. As you continue reading, you get the feeling she is sitting with you discussing the fun. She is as real and as down to earth as anyone can be. Yes, this book is a great cookbook, but it also belongs with your best reading books, as well. Two great rewards in one!

I have never been so excited about a cookbook in all my life, I pre-ordered a couple weeks ago for an anniversary gift to myself, The recipes look and sound delicious, the book comes with stories and many wonderful pictures on set and of Melissa growing up, she shares many amazing recipes I haven't seen in other Little house on the prairie cookbooks from other authors, I am planning on making My Prairie cookbook Recipe Night at least once a week, For those on gluten free diet, I can see easy ways to substitute this ingredient for that ingredient,. Easy to follow recipes with beautiful pictures.. I am so happy I have this amazing book.. I cant decide which recipe I will make first... Many congratulations to Melissa on this well made, well thought out book... *Misty Hart-Bell

大草原の小さな家のテレビシリーズが好きな人には、懐かしい写真や情報、撮影秘話などあり、ワクワクな一冊です。

内容は文句なし。ただ、Kindle版は写真が鮮明でなく、拡大するとぼやけてしまうこと。写真ページに書かれている文字も、手書きの部分は印刷文字でタイプされて、読めるようになっていますが、元々が印刷文字の部分は小さい文字そのままで解読不可能。大草原ファンの方は紙版を購入した方がいいと思います。

I like the stories and the recipes together.Recipes are easy to follow.

Die Serie "Unsere kleine Farm" habe ich als Kind geliebt. Dieses Buch musste ich darum aus nostalgischen Gründen einfach haben. Es hat sehr hübsche Fotos zur Serie und den Darstellern, Biographisches über Melissa Gilbert, Episoden über die Dreharbeiten und vieles mehr.Die Rezepte sind keine Rezepte aus der Zeit, in der UkF spielt, sondern "gute amerikanische Hausmannskost", falls man das so nennen kann. Sie sind sehr deftig und gehaltvoll. Ich habe bisher nur den Ofenpfannkuchen nachgekocht, und das Rezept fand ich nicht gelungen. Beim Apple Pie gibt Melissa Gilbert zu, dass sie die Kruste nie selbst macht und man sich diese doch fertig kaufen soll - also dafür gibt es einen Stern Abzug.Trotzdem tolles Buch, habe meine Freude dran.

Great if all you were looking for was a cookbook. Loosley based on pioneer cooking. No good as a source of historical information.
