Mandie's Cookbook (Mandie Books)

Includes A Special Sewing Pattern for an Apron and Bonnet!

After days and days of begging, Amanda Elizabeth Shaw (better known as Mandie) finally convinced Aunt Lou to teach her how to cook. You know who Aunt Lou is Mandie's Uncle John's housekeeper. Mandie not only loved learning how to cook, but she recorded every recipe, every "do" and "don't" that they went through. And that is how this cookbook came to be shared with you.

Mandie also learned how to cook Cherokee-style from Morning Star, Uncle Ned's wife. Sallie, her granddaughter, helped translate since Morning Star doesn't speak English. Being part Cherokee, Mandie wanted to learn how her kinpeople cook.

With Mandie's step-by-step instructions, you can cook and serve meals and share the experiences of girls from the turn-of-the-century. Learn how to bake cakes and pies, do popcorn balls, make biscuits and Southern fried chicken, as well as make Indian recipes like dried apples and potato skins.

If you love the Mandie Books, you'll love to try cooking Mandie's favorite recipes!
