Author’s Note: I gathered these recipes from a variety of authentic sources; and each is an example of folk cooking, that is, food that is widely-cooked and eaten. I’ve personally cooked each recipe and adapted them, when necessary, to create smaller sample portions to better suit the needs of a classroom or homeschool group. All of the ingredients used are readily available.
