Children at the Hearth

Barbara Swell has been hanging around kitchens since she was old enough to eat! Growing up in West Virginia, she learned to cook country, Southern, and international foods from the older women in her family. Barbara is a Child Counselor and the author of Log Cabin Cooking and Take Two and Butter ‘Em While They’re Hot! She now lives in Asheville, North Carolina with her husband, Wayne, and her three children — Annie, Wes, and Rita. This delightful little book, which includes a variety of wonderful recipes, vintage photographs, and an assortment of fun facts and folk remedies, is a must for everyone’s kitchen or bookshelf. You’ll even find a section on weird and disgusting foods! A great gift idea.
