These vintage cook book pages are fun. I love reading old cook books as some of the strange ingredients. Thank you.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the vintage cookbook pages Diana. Some of them certainly do have strange ingredients. 🙂
I love the old cookbook recipes and pictures. I hope you will have more of the recipes from this book in the future. I wouldn’t mind getting the whole book. Now if I could only find what book website has this book on it.
If you can recommend any websites except Gutenberg I would appreciate it. I have over 1150 actual cookbooks in my library and about the same amount on my I pad. Love, Love, Love cookbooks and the older the better. Of course I wish I could put up my wood cookstove and my summer kitchen stoves up I would be in heaven. I would be out of this would if I had a fireplace that I could cook in and bake in.
I guess I am just old fashioned but food to me tastes better that way. I will not have a microwave in my house.
Hi Jackie,
I plan to add more of the recipes from the cookbook in the future.
I understand your passion for collecting cookbooks as I once did the same. I have since given away or sold most of my collection (except the antiques and my favorite modern cookbooks). Now I mainly find new recipes from online blogs and print them when I want to try one. From there, they get filed into a binder if I enjoy the recipe.
My mother would have agreed with you about the wood cook stove. She bought one a few years before she passed away and did all of her cooking and baking with it. It seemed like so much work! I couldn’t even “fire it up”. If I remember correctly, it was something about the damper – I couldn’t figure out the right amount of air to get a fire going.
I bet a fireplace would make wonderful homemade pizza!
I recently came across a website that has some online cookbooks. I have not reviewed the Terms of Use but it’s fun to browse their collection: https://www.lib.msu.edu/exhibits/sliker/
