Clara’s Kitchen: Wisdom, Memories, and Recipes from the Great Depression
I got this book as a gift for my mom. And she loved the recipes and tried many of them. I liked it so much that i copied a few for myself and my family. Clara has a no nonsence approach to life, cooking and family. She is a grandma anyone would love to have.

This is a lovely little book filled with heartfelt stories of the past, fun little tips, and the bonus of easy and tasty recipes. I actually bought this book after seeing Clara on YouTube and I thought how great these simple ingredient/recipes would be for my college aged son. After looking through the book and reading some of the pages I now want my own copy. ‘Clara’s Kitchen’ has also solved the problem of trying to figure out and searching for a gift to give to family and friends throughout the year…it will be this book! I’d suggest ‘Clara’s Kitchen’ to anyone looking for a charming book filled with easy recipes.

I have read this little book about four times now, it is so interesting. Clara reminds me of my Grandmother(s), with her humor and outlook on life. Her tips and stories are practical and entertaining all at the same time. She is absolutely adorable, and I admire her life-time habits of thrift and saving, and re-using everything. What a total gift this is for everyone. I want to get her dvd’s now!

It’s a small book but it contains a wealth of knowledge inside. The recipes can very well be used for money-crunched times of today. The recipes, the general feel of the book and the inherent story it tells is straight forward. Although times during the depression must have been very difficult, the attitude remains hopeful and pragmatic. You CAN survive times of hardship and tribulations, at least in terms of eating even if today’s society is far different than it was during the historical setting (the depression). Cooking the recipes are easy, you need few ingredients and the meals are cheap, and as is pointed out frequently, nourishing.

Clara is the Grandmother everyoneone should have! I viewed her DVD,Youtube segments and her blog. Yes, Clara blogs! When I saw she had a book due out, I think I was the first to pre-order it. I stayed up all night just to read her book. What an awesome lady! Would love to meet her in person. I’m picking up a few copies for family and friends. God bless you Clara!
