I ran across this tonight and thought that some of you might be interested.

Old Recipe Books - Basic Home Cooking and Canning Recipes
Meta Givens Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking. 1947-1955. Two volumes. I bought the first volume for a quarter at a thrift, because I liked the cake recipes. I wanted, later, to look something up, but found it was probably in volume 2. Recently found volume 2, but forgot what I was gonna look up. Have times changed? Well, volume 2 has a great recipe for brain fritters. These are great cookbooks, with some minor substitutions. Lard was very much en vogue back then.

...I also have my mom's and a much earlier edition of The Settlement Cookbook (The Way to a Man's Heart Is Through His Stomach). It is a fantastic book, even today. Also, there are old fashioned ads in the older edition.
