Who is the author, Jane COOPER? She's a professional writer with a lot of experience using a wood range. In writing this book, she wasn't satisfied with just her own knowledge. She called on wood cookstove cooks across the nation, and they responded with recipes, ideas, warnings, hints. Only then did she sit down - at the kitchen table, of course - and write this book that will be a classic in its field, a source of both knowledge and enjoyment. Jane has written another cookbook, Love At First Bite: Snacks and Mealtime Treats the Quick and Easy Way, published by KNOPF.
One last question. You said a wood cookstove does more than cook food. What else? There are many other uses for it.
Drying socks and mittens.
Canning
Heating the family water supply.
And don't forget that most wonderful of uses, helping to heat the home.
It will do its work even when the utilities have failed, on a stormy winter's night. That's when you most appreciate the old-fashioned self-sufficiency that the wood range offers to you.
