Many of the recipes are from traditional family meals from around the turn of the century.

The recipes in this cookbook highlight some of the wonderful foods that accompanied bigger celebrations such as Christmas, New Year's and Easter, as well as work gatherings, camp meetings, weddings and funerals.
