    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...

    Vintage Cookbooks Passed Down in the Family

    I'll have to see if it's in my cookbooks... in addition to vol 1, they've also put out vol 2, 3, and 4, which I have thanks to ebay. Since I had taken Mom's copy, I got my sister a copy of vol 1. vol 1 has a great Marshmallow Brownie recipe. seems like there were quite a few recipes we used when...

    I'm reading "The Zookeeper's Wife" by Diane Ackerman at home, "Brava, Valentine" by Adriana Trigiani at work. Up next will be "61 Hours" by Lee Child. Just finished "Tensleep" by Sarah Andrews - will probably try to read the series. Also looking through "cat cora's classics with a twist" trying...

    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"...

    ISO info on buying pressure cooker/canner

    ok- I'm looking at the All-American now. It was also recommended on another forum. Question: Now I"m trying to decide between the 10 1/2 and the 15 1/2. Is a 15 1/2 quart too big to be used as a cooker? For now, I want one that will do both. I know eventually I will want a larger size...

    Readers Digest Cookbooks

    Reader's Digest have put out quite a few cookbooks. They bought out Reiman Publications a few years ago and now all the Taste of Home cookbooks are published by them.... I don't know of any sets. Maybe one of these titles will set off a memory. Some of the titles for Reader's Digest are...

    Recipe books? (Need Help)

    Yes!!! The Telephone Pioneer cookbooks I've heard are all really good. For all-around basic cookbooks, I'd recommend: The Joy of Cooking Fannie Farmer How to Make Everything

    Thanks for the link!! I love collecting the older cookbooks. My oldest is The Young Housekeeper's Friend by Mrs. Cornelius from 1859. The White House cookbook is on my wishlist. I have a new one, though.

    How Many Cookbooks Do You Have?

    Don't you love Library Thing?!!! I wish I had the time to do all of my books. Maybe if and when I move, I'll unpack a box at a time and post them all then. I have a good portion of my cookbooks on there, but not all of them. Maybe half? maybe. or less than half. I'm farmgirl-kat on there...

    Well. I've probably added a few hundred (or more) in the last year.... darn those thrift stores! I too can't afford to buy new books.
