Flavor of the Hill Country
The Texas Hill Country attracted many immigrants from Germany in the late 19th century. Now famous as the birthplace and home of Lyndon B. Johnson, the Hill Country contains several parks and historic sites connected with the former president. The Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm, contained within the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site, preserves a now-vanished way of life where costumed interpreters carry out the daily activities of a turn-of-the-century Texas-German farm family, including the preparation of meals. Dozens of recipes appear in this cookbook, all from a time before refrigeration and mass-produced foods. Full-color photos by Laurence Parent.
