Hello my lovely friends π
Today I’d like to show you a few treasures from my vintage cookbook collection…and the (sometimes) oddball recipes inside. π€
Here are some of the beautiful books from days gone, and now not forgotten! π₯°
This gem here is the oldest one in the collection. It was printed in 1922. It’s hard to believe that it’s almost 100 years old. π€©
This is where I found one of the weirder recipes.
The mayo and powdered sugar combination is not something I’d ever wanna try. π₯΄
This lovely book was printed in 1938, and holds more deliciousness π
I don’t know who thought that this is ‘Perfection’…but I draw the line at veggies & Lemon Jello! Won’t you?π
What’s with the eggs? π€·π»ββοΈ
I love everything about these books that allow us a glimpse into the life of people that came before us.
Like the random items used as bookmarks and notepads…
Old advertising…
And of course the wonderful signs of recipes well used…
Beautiful illustrations…
Handwritten Recipe improvements… π
Do you have old cookbooks? Maybe even hand-me-downs? Oh how I wish I still had one or two of my Mom’s cookbooks. π
Did you ever find a recipe that was popular way back when, but today we wouldn’t dare to serve today? π
I’m looking forward to your input! Thanks for stopping by! π
