This is a page from a cookbook called Retro Fiesta: A Gringo's Guide To Mexican Party Planning that, frankly, pisses me off. Any cookbook that dismisses tortillas as "a study in tedium and frustration" is full of horseshit.
I picked it up in a store a while back on a lark hoping for some interesting recipes and what to my wondering eyes should appear but this lovely paragraph.
"I am an experienced cook and also very detail and craft oriented, but in forty years I have yet to master tortillas."
Ooh! Get her! Tortillas: Lard, flour, water, salt. End of story. If that confounds you, go back to your Taco Bell, you pinche fuckin' gabacho and leave the real cooking to someone who can hack the delicate intricacies of tortilla making.
May order Mario Batali's book via Amazon

My cookbook collection. I'm hoping to get another Jamie Oliver book for my collection this Christmas :)
This was for a design for print class I took. It's just four pages from a little cookbook I put together. I was aiming for a user-friendly book that'd be fun for kids to look at and easy for their moms to follow.

tangy chicken: browned in butter and then cooked in Heinz 57 sauce and water (cooked with cover on, now removed; will now cook uncovered 10 min)
A pictorial of common condiments in Chinese cooking. Check out the retro packaging! Do you recall any of those?
I can't date my copy of the Joy of Cooking exactly, but I'm guessing mid-70s. (I got it from my aunt.) It's actually in tough enough shape that I'm often loath to try to find a recipe because I'm afraid it will fall apart entirely.

I still have this. But am ashamed to admit that I rarely use it. The recipes are pretty labour intensive.
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".
These 4.5" x 6.25" books are made from repurposed papers recovered from printer test prints, notebooks, vintage cookbooks, old invoices, construction paper, index cards, and vintage kids' books. They would make great scrapbooks or notebooks. Each unique book contains 20-22 pages which are machine stitched. The book is finished with clear packing tape and a rubber band holds them closed.
The covers of this limited edition set are made from vintage cookbook dividers and have great images on the inside cover of each book.
