PIONEER COOKBOOK

In an effort to recognize and honor our pioneer ancestors, the board of SDOP would like to invite all of our members to submit old family recipes for publication in our new “Pioneer Cookbook.”

This is a chance to see a cookbook come to life where all the best of the pioneer recipes can be found all in one place.  We hope that all of our members will help us create a very special book.

We welcome all recipes.  If you have a name, date, or perhaps a small anecdote to add to the recipes, that would make the book all the more memorable.  Please send recipes to:
