This is a nostalgic pick for many women and even many men that read this classic chapter book when they were younger. I’m recommending it because—in case you don’t remember or have not had the pleasure of ever reading this book—the descriptions of winter/Christmas-time cooking at the Ingalls’ cabin can make people of all ages drool. The book, an autobiography of the author’s young pioneer days in Wisconsin, goes into such delicious detail on the processes of making homemade maple syrup, snow candy, cured meats and cake that there is suspense alone in reading the next step. What a lot of men end up liking, in addition to the food details, are all of Pa’s snowy hunting adventures, lessons on how he makes rifle bullets himself and how he makes his own sled.
