I was wondering if anyone has a favorite vintage cookbook? I really like my copy of LillyWallace New American Cookbook. It's the same book my Mom started cooking from. Mine is from the 40's.
I have a favorite 1987 not really vintage..... but suzanne has a Restaurant in Cliftn, Va. I met her through a friend....and her recipes are wonderful...i believe it is still avilable through amazon. it is call cooking with hear in Hand......... i spoke to her asking how she came up with such wonderful recipes, and she said he dreamt them, with paper and pencil by her bed. trust me, it is a great book.....southern home cooking at best
My favorite is an old Betty Crocker cook book from 1961... I also like Fannie Farmer
I have one old one that I never use,it was written in the mid 1800's,when everyone cooked on wood stoves...it has no temp. guides etc....I just enjoy reading it.
Linda, enjoyed reading about your favorite. Lloyd, I agree BC ones are also great eats. Ann, I like Fannie Farmer as well. I can't blame you for enjoying reading the one you have from the 1800's. I love to read cookbooks and the older ones are the best kind for that.
