    Vintage Cookbooks Passed Down in the Family

    that would be great! Unless one of my aunts has a copy, I don't know how I would find out the name. I can check with them. I do have two complete pages from it. One from the Candy & Nuts section and one from the Canning section (tabs off to the side). Recipe Titles are in Caps and Underlined...

    Vintage Cookbooks Passed Down in the Family

    taxlady - I think my Mom bought them new then also... I don't really remember her using cookbooks when I was growing up. She was a farmer's daughter and wife. She does have some that she cut out of (I'm assuming) a church cookbook - wish I could find that as a complete cookbook. No idea of the...

    I've received a few from my Mom - Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book (1977) Amish Country Cookbook, vol 1 – Das Dutchman Essenhaus (1979) and I think I brought home some more last time I was there, but can't remember which ones. newer ones. She didn't have many cookbooks. I do have her handwritten book...

    Cooking Magazine Decisions

    you can probably get most of the recipes for that magazine from projectfoodie. the only drawback I see (though I haven't done much research) is that projectfoodie doesn't have the articles from the mags and possibly not all the recipes, though not sure on that. Food Network was $15 a year? How...

    Cooking Magazine Decisions

    For those of you unsure of what cooking magazine to buy, here are two websites that might be of some help. www.projectfoodie.com www.tastebook.com Both have links and/or recipes from various magazines. Project Foodie also has some links to The Food Network, a few newspapers, and cookbooks.

    Get old cookbooks ... often at great price.

    Scotch - love your bookcases.... I think mine would fill about four or five!! Have most in boxes, but one day I'll get them all out. I buy most of my cookbooks at thrift stores and library sales. Just got a few this past week at a local library sale - Alton Brown's "I'm Just Here For the Food"...
