Pine Springs Community Center Cook Book, Tyler, TX 1973 This is a local cookbook that I found at a garage sale. It is pretty beaten up and the cake section is covered with notes and splatters. That's a sign of a good cookbook, in my opinion.

This is my favorite cookbook, the one I have used so much that I had to put packing tape on the spine to keep it together. It's an old book, with old recipes - but there are the original recipes, and they don't have additives or other nasty things. Portions are smaller, explanations are simpler. This is how people ate before there was fast food and prepackaged everything, when people knew how to eat healthy food and a reasonable price.
This book is priceless, and if you can find a copy, guard it...more

I love this cookbook! I love all cookbooks but I especially love this one. It is stained, worn & generally falling apart but it is the one I turn to time & time again. Menu planning, table setting - anything you want to know is in this cookbook. I have no doubt that June Cleaver owned this cookbook. I long for the days that are represented between it's hallowed covers.

I love cookbooks. I especially love old cookbooks with recipes I can alter to my personal tastes.
This book belonged to my Aunt Jean. She passed away last year, and her husband, my Uncle Vic, allowed me to have several of her cookbooks.
This book has a chapter on Menu Making. Several of the menus are meat-free.
Just a few of the many other chapters are: How to Buy Food, Table Setting and Service, Carving, Vegetarian Dishes, French Recipes, Food for Invalids, High Altitude Cooking, Cooking at the T...more

What I love most about this cookbook is dependent on the edition. I own two of the Victory Binding editions, from World War II. In these editions, the pages are tabbed by section but also, in the back of the book, they contain sections titled 'Wartime Cookery'. These sections are about feeding a family during the rationing of WWII, and are utterly fascinating. Can you imagine feeding a family of five on fifteen dollars a week? Well, that's just what it says in the back of this book!

Quite possibly one of the most useful tools I have ever laid my hands on.

Another traditional American cookbook offering the basic procedures and recipes for a beginner or intermediate chef, eminently usable in the American home. I saw this one at a used book store and snatched it up -- when i got home wife wife lovingly commandeered it from me. It is filled with procedures, definitions, and recipes - and is a constant cooking reference!

An amazing old book Kyle found at a garage sale. This copy was published in 1949 (original from '38), so it's fun to have a notion of what my Mum, grandmothers and aunts must have aspired to in the culinary arts in the year I was born. Lots of wonderful instructional content of the kind you'd receive if you were in cooking class. FYI: For corned beef you'll need fresh-killed beef and a good oak barrel!

Mine is the 1942 edition.
We don't worry so much about placesettings and things any more, but this is one of those older cookbooks that has quite a lot of good background information. I was also impressed that it advocated eating less meat and had reasonably sound advice on plant protein (not very in-depth, but then that's not the point of the book).

Best cookbook ever! Love it! And to know my father bought this for my mom makes it even more special! Thanks, Dad! Been so long..........

A great little vintage cook book, I occasionally look for simple recipes here before checking in a newer book.

I'm not sure I'd ever use many of these recipes, but it was pretty interesting to see how people ate, lived, and entertained back in the day.
