I hit the jackpot this week at a neighborhood yard sale, and got a whole box of vintage Cookbooks - for $2!!!!! I am in heaven. Now I did not NEED another cookbook, I have a ton of them already - and could never, ever make all the recipes in a lifetime, but I HAD to get them. It would have been a crime to leave them sitting there all alone, right?
Here is "Bananas...How to Serve Them", and "Southern Cookbook - 250 Fine Old Recipes" - and indeed they are.
Mostly cookbooks on thhis shelf, some gardening.Vitually every book here was second hand or thrifted. A few were gifts
ODC - In with the new
My son's a big Terry Pratchett fan and he got "Nanny Ogg's Cookbook" for Christmas. Yesterday we cooked these delcious potato cakes for lunch.
Besides the food from this cookbook we have started to eat lots more vegetables and root vegetables lately and cooking a lot together - that's new ♥
My mother's cookbooks up on their shelf. The Betty Crocker Cookbook is from 1969. I've never used it, but I love the retro pictures and recipies.
The shelf in a kitchen cupboard where I keep all the cookbooks. The ones I use the most are the two green-spined binders that are the equivalent to a recipe card file. Many, many recipes that are favorites.
The most pristine colorful vintage cookbooks a girl could ask for! Now to just find a man to cook all the foods they seem to like...hmmm....
some of my inherited cookbooks. always a source of inspiration, though rarely culinary inspiration!

More about the book and stuff here.
It's here. It has finally arrived. It's 304 pages of green, black and white, glory. I haven't found any typos yet, but I'm sure Andrew will find any lingering ones. I got a little weepy reading the acknowledgments page. I have so many people to thank, and so little room to do it.
Here is the book photographed in the drawer we keep our skillets in. Yes I keep cast iron skillets in 1 drawer. It pays to know a great kitchen designer.
Cod's Head Soup
Lady Jekyll, in her Kitchen Essays first introduced me to this excellent way of using what is usually Pussy's Perquisite. first, in the pan large enough to hold the cod's head, fry two minced onions until they are golden brown, then add two dessert-spoonfuls of flour and a teaspoonful of curry powder, stir all together and put in the cod's head. Add three sliced tomatoes and a bouquet of parley, thyme and bay leaf, just cover with cold water, bring to the boil, and simmer for two or three hours. (This would of course cook in a hay box.) When done, strain, heat up and serve with a little vermicelli, which has been cooked separately.

I had purchased this at a yard sale back in September. The guy who was running the sale told me that he and his wife were married in 1969 and that they received five fondue sets at their wedding plus several fondue cookbooks. Now all I need to do is get a groovy looking fondue set like the one on the cover of the book.
Here are some images from my most recent visit to the Bungalow Antique Shop.

Dated 1979, but I doubt they changed anything from the first printing of 1968. I almost passed this by because it didn't have a cute retro cover, but within are some magical recipes. I have read this book like a novel, and several of the pages are flagged with post-its of recipes to try. This is a Shriners book, the proceeds of which were donated for the care of crippled or burned children. The introduction includes a lovely letter from the director:
"...as the recipes cam in, I read each one of them and those that appeared unusual or struck my fancy, I would distribute to my family and office and a few close friends; we had many adventurous meals and experiments. I would recommend that you use this book in pretty much the same fashion. You can, of course, start looking through it with an idea that you want to serve a specific kind of beef or pork and find a way to prepare it, but I think you will have much more fun if, before you make up your mind what to serve, you just open the book and peruse it at random. You will find that it will not take very long at all for you to hit one that strikes your fancy and a whole new world of taste treats will open to you.
If you have, in using this book, a small fraction of the enjoyment I had in assemblying it, it will be a smashing success."
