From the article:

Actually, the Co-op Food Fun cookbook was my mom’s very first cookbook, too. She was given this book when she was just a young little snippet of a prairie girl living in a very, very small town called Moosehorn, Manitoba (population composed almost entirely of my maternal extended family). When I was little, I thought that Laura Ingalls Wilder was a contemporary of my mother because of my mom’s stories about growing up on the prairies. (Seriously: Moosehorn had a one room school house and my mom’s childhood home didn’t have indoor plumbing. It was a natural mistake for a kid like me to make!) The cookbook is meant for kids between the ages of five and 18, so I try to cut it a little slack when it comes to the recipes, but the cover artwork is fair game.
