About the Author

Full-time professional blogger, baker, and recipe maker KARLYNN JOHNSTON can usually be found fluffing her culinary feathers on her award-winning website, The Kitchen Magpie. When she’s not there, she’s busy avoiding her deadlines by sneaking away to eat at her favorite Edmonton restaurants, finding a new bourbon cocktail to drink, or playing on social media. Flapper Pie and a Blue Prairie Sky is her first cookbook.

If I could contact the author, I would say that upon first looking through this book, my first impression was: Yes, I am going to love this cookbook! I have a lot of cookbooks and certainly did not NEED another one, but this one grabbed my interest. It very recently arrived and we/family decided to make something we all remember fondly and never see anymore: Spudnuts (potato doughnuts). We were very eager to see if they would be like beloved spudnuts of memory. Here is what I would tell the author if I could contact her: the Potato Doughnuts recipe has an error of omission in it. I don't have the recipe in front of me right now, but the directions are for combining the scalded and properly temperature cooled milk with the sugar and yeast and proceed with the rest of the recipe, the previously mashed/cooled potatoes, etc. Nowhere does it say when to combine the yeast, sugar, milk mixture with the dry ingredients. It just isn't mentioned at all. As an experienced baker, I can figure this out but a cookbook shouldn't leave out instructions like that because not all bakers will know what to do about that. And for any cookbook reader, when there is one error, then they feel less confident and trustful of the rest of the recipes. What else has been left out? What other errors might there be? I would have given this book 5 stars otherwise and considered giving it 3 stars but decided on 4 stars. I like it but am a little more wary now than I would like to be. By the way, the doughnuts turned out great. I don't think the recipe specified what size doughnut cutter to use. Ours is a pretty standard size but the doughnuts turned out much too large. We just split them and otherwise praise their deliciousness. If the author happens to read her readers' reviews here, or if the publisher does, could they please let us know if there is or will be an errata for this book - in case there are other errors to be aware of?? I am sounding more negative than I feel about this book: I think it's going to be a terrific one, but maybe just one more proofreading would have caught that omission and then I wouldn't have any wariness at all! --John Prine

love the interesting and yummy sounding recipes and can't wait to make some of them!! --Vkramer

Karalynn, I ordered your cook book " Flapper Pie and Blue Prairie Sky" in July and had forgotten about it. I received it yesterday and just wanted to tell you what an amazing job you have done of providing us with, not only the many classical recipes of our era, but also the history and love of what you do. I couldn't put your book down last night. I was spell bound, as I related again and again to your stories. Thank you for bringing us back to where we need to be, falling in love with our home baking, finding depth and meaning in our communities and respecting and honoring those people who went before us. What legacies they left ! I LOVE the book and would highly recommend it to anyone Jean --Jean Bota
