When Jerry Apps was growing up on a Wisconsin farm in the 1930s and 1940s, times were tough. Yet most folks living on farms had plenty to eat. Preparing food from scratch was just the way things were done, and people knew what was in their food and where it came from. Delicious meals were at the center of every family and social affair, whether it be a threshing-day dinner with all the neighbors, the end-of-school-year picnic, or just a hearty supper after chores were done. As Jerry writes, "For me food will always be associated with times of good eating, storytelling, laughter, and good-hearted fun." Inspired by the dishes made by his mother, Eleanor, and featuring recipes found in her well-worn recipe box, Jerry and his daughter, Susan, take us on a culinary tour of life on the farm during the Depression and World War II. Seasoned with personal stories, menus, and family photos, Old Farm Country Cookbook recalls a time when electricity had not yet found its way to the farm, when making sauerkraut was a family endeavor, and when homemade ice cream tasted better than anything you could buy at the store.

This book was compiled from the recipes the author has grown to love as her small family of two sons grew up. She went from knowing how to bake a pone of cornbread (and that was all) when she married to being able to prepare many tasty dishes of country foods over the years. She believes in using the freshest ingredients she can find for her foods and prepares the best dishes she can to feed her husband and family. Always married to an avid gardener, if his garden fails because of heavy rains or something, she has her husband—who does all the grocery shopping—spend a lot of time in the perimeters of every grocery looking for the healthy fruits and vegetables which she then prepares for the two of them now that the sons are grown and gone. Except for cans of beans and tomatoes that she uses to make chili, almost every dish she prepares is made from scratch using only fresh or frozen vegetables. Do not look for fancy cooking in this book because you will not find fancy. What you will find is good down-home healthy recipes which do not take a lot of time to prepare. Every young person leaving home should take a copy of this book with them so they do not have to live on fast food and will find the joy of eating like home cooking. She can only wish now that she had access to this type of cooking when she was learning to be a wife and mother.
