I have a copy of “The Little House Cookbook” published in 1979. There is a recipe for Birds- Nest pudding on p. 126. There is also a wacky, but surprisingly good recipe for lettuce with vinegar and sugar. I teach 4th grade and jut finished “Farmer Boy”. It is loved by both girls and boys. We wll be wrting about our favorite holidays and food.

I like to make Blancmange. That’s what Jo carried to Laurie when he was sick, in Little Women. Here is a modern adaptation:

Looks delectable! Hmmmm, maybe tomorrow….

I think of Royal’s pancakes whenever I think of the Wilder brothers. Great post!

I’m drooling all over this post. I also wrote about Farmer Boy on my blog, alphabet soup (which is devoted to food in children’s fiction), but I made the apples and onions. I’m looking forward to your future posts, and will link to you.

Deva – Please consider adding a PB book to your recipe hunt. My second book, “The Cazuela That the Farm Maiden Stirred” (Fall 2010) includes a recipe (it’s a surprise) at the end. After seeing what you concocted, which made me hungry, I’m thinking you’d be well suited for making the recipe in my book! All best, Samantha

That looks absolutely DELICIOUS. *might have just drooled on myself.*

In my head, this “pudding” looked a bit like an apple pie, with the edges of lattice like the nest (perhaps due to the “slice” description?)

Something from Anne of Green Gables next, my girl!!
