This  collection of recipes from the author's ancestors is made unique by the  inclusion of family photographs, some dating back to the 1800's. Some  favorite treats the author recalls enjoying during childhood include  Sour Cream Pie (not at all sour), Food For the Gods, Corn Relish, and  Divinity Candy. This book is worth a look if you want to prepare  something new for a birthday or holiday, or just want a glimpse into  life during the 20th century.

The  author is from a family of immigrants who established farmsteads on the  prairies of northern Illinois in the mid-1800s. Some of his best childhood memories include his mother's cooking and weekend visits with  relatives. Usually, the two were combined. A barn silo, the iconic  symbol of a dairy farm, originated in his ancestor's hometown, and there  were nearly half a million across the United States when the author was  born. 

This book was published to commemorate his parent's 100th wedding  anniversary (father born 1896 and mother born 1902) and to honor the generations that  witnessed two World Wars, the Great Depression, and the Korean and  Vietnam conflicts.
