Nice to see this sub getting some activity again.
I collect a lot of old cookbooks, but have a special place in my heart for old etiquette/hostessing and canning/preserving books. This is one of my more recent acquisitions.
Happy 4th! There's nothing more American than terrifying (and delicious) Jell-O recipes. I hope everyone who celebrates today has a safe and fun day! We are supposed to have storms so I will be inside 🤣
I think most of us aren’t planning on turn on our ovens anytime soon, but this book has GREAT recipes and photos. When it cools down I definitely want to try something out of this!
Finally got a hold of this gem of a pamphlet from 1970. There are several fun recipes in here, including the Jelly omelet. It has an alphabet “A to Z” theme to the recipes and the artwork is peak 70s.
“Remember them too when you are looking for a subtle way to say ‘thank you,’ ’please,’ or ‘I’m sorry.’
For being around 72 years old, this recipe booklet is in FABULOUS shape! I love the old photographs so much.
I found this booklet at a garage sale for 25 cents. Haven't actually made anything from it, but I love the mid century illustrations.
Hey everyone! I'm u/bigbiccenergy, the new moderator for r/VintageCookbooks! Attached is a couple photos of a fraction of my vintage cookbook collection, and overall cookbook collection in general! I love most vintage things (minus most vintage values/discriminatory laws of course), and I love cooking and baking for my loved ones. If you have a cookbook collection, a recipe, a photo of a vintage recipe you made, cool book to show off, or anything related to vintage recipes/cooking, please post it! I will be updating the rules and adding more to this community to get things back up again, since I know it’s been a bit inactive for a while. Please don’t be shy, I LOVE seeing everyone’s posts! I am active in several other vintage related subreddits, but I am only a mod in this one. I hope to see a lot from all of you soon!
Imagine…just $1 for a magazine! I probably bought this for a dollar at the antique mall, but jeez. Something like this today would be at least $7.99! But…look back to about exactly 40 years ago for some good recipes! This is the only issue of this magazine that I own, but I do really love it. Definitely gotta scour eBay and my local antique malls for more issues!
This is a newer find from me, got it for only $5 at an antique mall! I’m kinda on a roll with all things summer themed at the moment! Honestly everything in this book sounds divine.
Since it’s summer and 4th of July weekend is coming up for those who celebrate, figured I would share this! Lots of cute pics and drink recipes. I’m not much of a drinker so I won’t be making these lol, but if anyone does let me know!
Grilling season is upon us! This book has a TON of great recipes, and a lot of vegetarian options as well.
1978 Betty Crocker Fluffy Spoon Bread!
I’m trying to be cognizant of what I have in the pantry, and I had enough to make this cornbread casserole/soufflé gem without going to the store. It was pretty dang good wth honey drizzled on top!
