Actress Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls Wilder on the popular television series, Little House on the Prairie, has a new title to add to her list of credentials: cookbook author.
Gilbert is the author of My Prairie Cookbook: Memories and Frontier Food from My Little House to Yours. This piece of television nostalgia features 80 recipes and more than 75 pages of scrapbook images from the show. Gilbert also shares memories and behind-the-scenes stories.
Gilbert will be at the Iowa City Public Library at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16, for a discussion and book signing. Her appearance is co-sponsored by the Library and Prairie Lights Books. Copies of the cookbook will be available for purchase. The cookbook is also available for checkout.
