I always loved Laura Kalpakian’s novel, American Cookery and wanted to include a few recipes in my novel as she had done. I just couldn’t make it work as seamlessly as she did. So I’ve collected the recipes here, in Annie Cooper’s Recipe Scrapbook. And thanks to a request from a follower, I’ve given recipes from their own page, so they are easy for readers to find.
Annie is Libby’s twenty-something daughter who creates a recipe scrapbook after her grandmother dies. Each recipe is accompanied by a few cook’s notes from one of the characters in US, NOW AND THEN.
Aunt Ellie’s Quick Fudge Cookies
Claire’s Butternut Squash and Apples
Fran & Libby’s Fluffy White Icing
Fran and Libby’s Soft Gingersnaps
