It has a variety of recipes from 21 ethnic groups that lived in Butte Montana, from American Indians to Yugoslavians. The recipes are contributed by citizens of Butte and many include small stories that are interesting to read.
When there are a few people around the house on Sunday morning I like to make -

"Norwegian Pancakes"
1 egg beaten
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 scant cup milk
1/2 cup flout (or trifle more)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Grease pancake griddle lightly. Make a thin pancake, using 1 or 2 tablespoons batter. When bubbles form, turn and brown other side.
My grandfather Mr. Charles Ronning was born in Trondheim, Norway in 1864. He brought this recipe to Montana in 1897. Many members of our family remembered how he mixed his pancakes in a lard pail to feed his five hungry children.

This is part of a picture from the cookbook. It's called "The Success Cafe" - The smallest restaurant in the world.

I made a copy of it years ago to use as a bookmark for the cookbook. It has a lot of splatters on it from mornings making Norwegian pancakes and other tasty recipes from the cookbook.
Life is good at the Success Cafe.
Wishing you a good start to the week.
