Though this is definitely a children's book, the recipes are still good. I especially like the potato salad; it's very simple, but everyone I've made it for has enjoyed it.

parent/child interaction. The little factoids are also rather interesting, and help add context to food from another time period. And of course, this is an especially fun book for anyone who follows the American Girl books or who has one of the dolls. Show Less

Addy's Cookbook is part of the American Girls dolls series. My daughter enjoyed this series. I could see how the doll's sparked her imagination. The cookbooks in this series encouraged her to cook, and in doing so, learn more about the times, the places, and people from which the dolls were taken.

pork sausage and gravy, buttermilk biscuits (made with lard), fried apples, and scrambled eggs. Recipes are well illustrated with full-color drawings and photographs and methods are clearly described. Dinners are heavy on bacon and fried foods. Addy's favorites, such as chicken shortcake, collard greens, cornbread, potato salad, lemonade, peach cobbler, pound cake, and shortbread are included. Every page includes a factoid from the time period, augmented by archival black-and-white photographs. Descriptions of an Emancipation Celebration and a Juneteenth Party appear at the end of the book, along with suggested games, foods, table settings, clothing, decorations, and music. This is in no way a heart-healthy offering, but it is a faithful description of dishes of the late 1800s and a wonderful asset to historical cooking sections Show Less
