Tales of separating cream on the back porch at Cottonwood Farm, raising a teddy bear of a puppy in addition to a menagerie of other animals, surviving an endless procession of Cub and Boy Scouts, appreciating a little boy's need to take his toy tractor to church, blowing out eggs to make an Easter egg tree, shopping for bargains on the day before Christmas, camping in a converted Model T “house car,” and adjusting to the fact of one's tenth decade of existence all merge to form a world composed of kindness and wisdom with just enough humor to keep it grounded. Recipes for such fare as Evelyn's signature Hay Hand Rolls prove that the young woman who was daunted by her editor's advice to “put in a recipe every week” became a talented cook. Each of the more than eighty columns in this warmhearted collection celebrates not a bygone era tinged with sentimentality but a continuing tradition of neighborliness, Midwest-nice and Midwest-sensible.
In addition to writing a weekly newspaper column since 1949, native Iowan Evelyn Birkby has been a writer and broadcaster for KMA Radio and Kitchen-Klatter, part of the longest-running homemaker program in the history of radio. In 1996 she represented Iowa at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival; in 1998 she was named an Iowa Master Farm Homemaker, and in 2009 Iowa Public Television featured her in a documentary about radio homemakers. She is the author of ten books, including Neighboring on the Air: Cooking with the KMA Radio Homemakers (Iowa, 1991) and Up a Country Lane Cookbook (Iowa, 1993).
