The Germans from Russia Heritage Collection is pleased to present
the German-Russian Pioneer Cook Book from the community
of Eureka, South Dakota, once the world's wheat capitol from 1887
to 1902.
In the introduction, Martha Mehlhaff, writes: "The way to a man's
heart is through his stomach. The pioneer woman must have known
that, as the welfare of her family came first. Her main purpose
was to put food on the table for hungry mouths. With the recipes
in this book and with some special touches of your own you can
create some healthful combinations of nutritious foods."
