I bought a few coookbooks the other day at the Rancho Cucamonga Library bookstore. I'm posting a few things ...
Good Housekeeping's Timesaving Cookbook, 1972
I turned a photo album into a cookbook for my recipe cards! The spine is my own design done in photoshop and then printed onto cotton
The front cover of a cookbook from Spry Shortening. Detail #2. Does this look like the sort of dinner where they would be serving french fries? Thanks to Steve for the date.
I have a lot, and I'm talking A LOT of cookbooks. When people come over they are drawn to the shelves of them to read the titles, as I am when I vist their homes. This little set always seems to draw the most comment.
This is a classic poster made for the original online Python Cookbook we (ActiveState) did in collab with O'Reilly's print Python Cookbook.
That URL doesn't work anymore, but the Python Cookbook lives on (and quite well thank you) here:

This recipe booklet, the "Metropolitan Cook Book", is a wonderful piece of ephemera. It is illustrated and contains fabulous vintage recipes--just like Grandma made!
The softcover booklet was published by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and is copyrighted 1953. This edition was printed in August 1954. This booklet is 56 pages long. It measures 5.25" (13.3 cm) wide and 7.75" (19.7 cm) tall. It is in great vintage condition.
This nostalgic booklet would make a fabulous collectible or could be put to great use in your scrapbook, collage, altered art, card or mixed media projects.
Katie's family cookbook that I made on Shutterfly came yesterday. I am so happy with the way it turned out. I made all the recipes and then took a photo of the finished food. I also added a photo of each family or friend the original recipe came from. It was a very fun project. day 10/30

My cookbooks! I love the Lorna Sass Pressure cooker books, and Moosewood Lowfat Cookbook is a well loved classic.

according to the chef, it is NOT possible to tell the gender, as easily as one might think, of these hedgehogs
A scrapbook of cuttings and handwritten recipes compiled by Nina Gladys Barker (née Alexander) who was born in the late 1880s and died ca. 1975 and was the wife of Robert Beacroft Barker, merchant and politician in Jamaica. The recipes were probably compiled between 1940 (note that some early recipes were written on the reverse of the letterhead of the "Jamaica Central War Assistance Committee") and 1960. Many are of Jamaican origin. Most are sweet. There are manuscript recipes in other hands but most are in that of Nina Gladys Barker herself. Nina's only child is alluded to in the recipe, "Bruce's birthday cake".
As you can see, this cookbook gets A LOT of use. I'm a firm believer in keeping a journal, and this book is a cooking journal of sorts. I like to make notations on recipes as to how much we liked them, substitutions I make, when I make something, and for whom. It will be quite a nice item to pass down to fiuture generations.
Tonight we're having the Potatoes Boursin. I'll cut the recipe in half. I happened to find a package of Boursin in the fridge this afternoon (dated Feb. 2008* - AWK!) so figured it was time I used it.
