Samantha's Cookbook: A Peek at Dining in the Past With Meals You Can Cook Today (American Girls Collection)
Cordelia avatar reviewed on + 153 more book reviews


Girls like Samantha would learn about etiquette as well as managing a household. Learn about the recipes that were common in the early 1900's as well as the inventions of the time and plan a tea party for your friends (and dolls). What a great way to compare the many changes that have occurred over the years. Recipes include breakfast (Cheese omelet, blueberry muffins & more), Dinner (Cream of Carrot Soup, Roasted Beef Tenderloin) and favorite foods (Cream Cheese & Walnut Sandwiches, Chicken Salad Sandwiches, Lemon Ice) and more. A fun way to learn about the past.
