This blog is just too cool! My mom has a "thing" for retro cook booklets-collects them to the tune of 1,500 lol
I recognize SO many of these! Mom doesn't have an internet connection any longer but I HAVE to tell her about this!
Some of my own favorite books are the old ones-new cookbooks, although I have a few, don't thrill me.
Mariana-
Thanks! Very cool indeed! :D
Anne-
Thank you! What a nice compliment! WOW, 1,500! I think maybe I have 100...at the most. I just love them. So easy to collect and I always enjoy "discovering" a cool new recipe, being disgusted by funky food combos and taking in all the cool photos.
I'm so glad these bring back memories for you. I always enjoy when people tell me that or that I've posted a recipe from their past that they've been searching for, etc. And I have to agree with you, the new cookbooks just aren't the same. WAY too high-maintenance for me, what with all the "low carb"/"low-cal" BS. Just make something delicious, why stand over it with a stopwatch and a sliderule? Geez, Louise. You're making food for Pete's sake, not disarming a bomb!
Once I run out of cookbooklets, I'll start posting recipes from all my vintage cookbooks!
Thanks for taking the time to comment and for the nice compliment! I hope you come back and visit and if you do, I hope you find something you just have to make. :D
