The very notion of comfort food could have begun in the farm kitchen, with its rich aromas of bubbling stew and apple pie, its stock of fresh eggs and butter and bacon, its warming custard on a cold winter's night or cool spoonful of home-churned ice cream on a steaming summer afternoon. Gulled from the pages of The Farmer's Wife, a beloved monthly magazine published in America's heartland from 1893 to 1939, Best Recipes from the Farmer's Wife Cookbook is a curated collection of more than 350 favorite from-scratch recipes, redesigned and updated to match the conveniences and ingredients available to today's cooks.
