A patron of my food history classes at the local library gifted me these three great vintage cookbooks.

This is my oldest copy of Joy in my collection (1953). I have never come across the Farm Journal’s Country Cookbook (1972) but it looks like it has some good recipe. And “The I Hate to Cook Book” (1960 ) is also new to me but it looks to be an entertaining book.

I will post more in detail soon with some of these!

Remember when “homemade” felt like a promise? In this 1980s Betty Crocker spot, her warm, reassuring presence makes baking look simple—like the perfect cake is only a few steps away. If you grew up with boxed mixes and big smiles around the kitchen, this one might tug at the same sweet place in your memory.

I made the Grilled Brined Pork Chop recipe tonight and served it with the Charred Broccoli with Tonnato Sauce. Both were delicious. The brine was great for these thick cut pork chops.

Everyone made me regret not picking up the teapot that I posted a little while back at an antique store. So I found an even better priced and better quality on Mercari. I am excited to use this for many hot cups of tea. I love the slight blue tint of the glass in person.

I love an egg drop soup. Was craving it so made it for lunch today.

I had never seen this version before. It was at an Antique market today.

I told many of you about this a while ago but here is the link to RSVP for my zoom talk about Betty Crocker with The Culinary Historians of Northern Illinois. This will be on Thursday August 6 at 7pm Central/8pm Eastern.

“Learn the history of culinary icon Betty Crocker and how her cookbook, recipe booklets and advice column became housewife staples. Including her start on radio to her iconic portraits, Betty remains a staple in the home cooking all over the country and even the world.”

“Who Was Betty Crocker?” Zoom RSVP

This was a newly posted 5 star recipe on the app so I decided to try it. Overall it was good and had some good techniques. But as with a lot of ATK recipes I had to bump up the seasoning more. It was good though.

I think I might make cooking through it a hobby this winter

Found this great quality 473 Butterprint yesterday at my local antique store.

I love seafood cookbooks and heard that this is a good one and has won some awards. I will probably end up getting it but has anyone used it or have it?

This was a fun one to make. It was filling but light. I would put slightly less lemon juice in the butter next time. I also love crème frache so used that in place of sour cream and it was a great complement to it.

My husband uses a French press and has a basic Amazon glass and plastic one now. I just noticed Le Creuset has one and it’s in the color I have. Any opinions about its use or anyone have it?

I still have not decided which set I want to collect but saw some fun pieces today.

As the intro states - “…today the can opener is fast becoming a magic wand, especially in the hands of those brave young women, nine million of them (give or take a few thousand here and there), who are engaged in frying as well as bringing home the bacon”.

This is a gem of a book and one of the most popular of Poppy’s publications. I just chose a few random pages to post recipes.

This is a great summer recipe. It is from Americas Test Kitchen. Just please heed all the warning in the comments for not putting the seafood in until much later in the cooking. I grilled most of the proteins separately and added towards the end.
