My daughters & I love anything that has to do with pioneer days. We seek knowledge like we are starving. We have found the American Girl Kirsten series & her activities fun, interesting & very full of past facts. We bought the Kirsten's Cookbook knowing ahead of time that we would not be disappointed. It is full of easy to do recipes, history & plenty of fun for everyone! There is no better way to teach your children about the past than by learning about it & trying it. This book has helped them to learn how easy they have it these days & how their great grandparents had to work so hard. We really enjoyed this book.
Easy informative historical cookbook for kids with a mix of culturally accurate and recognizable recipes. Lots of pictures, clear directions, interesting commentary on the history and even a section with tips for how to have a themed party based on the cookbook.

Plastic packaging without cardboard-type protection leads to potential damage of the product. Case-in-point ...the "pristine" book arrived with a bent cover.

My daughter is into American Girl stuff. I especially like making history come alive with her by sharing activities. The recipes are updated enough to be easy to do, yet quaint enough to be something special. We like comparing and contrasting her life with Kristen's. We decided that the past was fun to visit but it must have involved a lot of work!
I liked it because it was easy for kids to understand and learn about different cultures and different eras. The food tastes great and the recipes are simple and inexpensive.
