There is nothing like an old fashioned cookbook to call upon when you want a basic bread recipe or a how-to-make-gravy recipe. This was my Gramma's cookbook and she's probably long forgot about it. I just love glancing through it at the old ads and the recipes have no concern for using fat, salt, carbs, sugar or love.
Dog-eared and well-inked cook book.
This kills me. Pigeons? Who eats pigeons? Who ate pigeons? What? I'm pretty sure I've never even eaten a hard-cooked egg!
Avoid those wascally wabbits found in the bushes. Instead, eat your domesticated pet! What the ?
Oh, man! This is a hillbilly cookbook, isn't it? Roasted with bacon fat and the quintessential Worcestershire sauce, of course!
How to frost a cake. "Transformation before your eyes - This Is How It's Done". This is the 1950s alter-ego of Martha Stewart.
They had only 2 cookie cutters with shape in the 1950s: clover leaf and heart. Oooh, two holidays are covered!
If popcorn was fun, why were they just learning it was food too? What were they using it for before eating it? (p.s. I love the can).
My favourite. There was no description under these lovelies. Are they figs? Are they meatballs? Are they found on an animal in a place we don't want to know about? It was all about the garnishment in the 1950s.
"Make sure you have a head of iceberg lettuce, a jar of maraschino cherries, and can of pineapple rings on hand at all times to impress your husband!"
Cooked carrots rolled in breadcrumbs and baked to look like real carrots. These American Women cook book creators were pure genius!
