I’ve been sharing pictures of the recipes we’ve tried from The Little Women Cookbook every week…here’s a look at the full selection! We tried breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipes, plus lots of desserts, and even a few beverages. We didn’t make everything in the book…some recipes weren’t that appealing to us (milk toast), some we couldn’t find the proper ingredients for (buckwheat pancakes), and some just didn’t make the cut right now, but we may come back to later (even more dessert recipes!).
In case you’re wondering, here’s the full list:
- Cheese and Jam Turnovers
- Amy’s Frothy French Drinking Chocolate
- Amy’s Lemonade
- Amy’s “Christmas Day” Muffins
- Apple Orchard Chicken
- “Lemon Cheese” Tartlets
- Hannah’s Pounded Potatoes
- Maple-Cornmeal Drop Biscuits

- “Indian Meal” Griddle Cakes
- Meg’s Chicken and Macaroni Soup
- Oatmeal Porridge with Apples, Cinnamon, and Maple Syrup
- Meg’s Macaroni and Cheese
- Vanilla Butter Cookies with Mr. Bhaer’s Chocolate Drops
- Hannah’s Smoked Sausage and Potato “Mess”

This was a fantastic cookbook, and every recipe we tried was excellent. Some of the top favorites were the Parisian cream puffs, Amy’s lemonade, Jo’s gingerbread, and the cheese and jam turnovers. We’ll definitely be using the cookbook more to repeat selections in the future!
Update: I finally found buckwheat flour and we tried the buckwheat pancakes…they were amazing!
