I was recently given a whole bunch of vintage cookbooks. The new facility we're renting had two big bookshelves of cookbooks that they no longer wanted, and said we could take whichever ones we want! It was hard to not take them ALL, but I selected about 8 or 9 of them. I saw "Joy of Cooking" and since I don't own that yet, I had to take that one! But I also looked for the kind that seemed like compilations of recipes from local people. I feel like these could be the kind of thing that people contribute their family's favorite recipes to. I found quite a few books that are collections of recipes from local church members and women's organizations. I can't wait to start baking and find the great recipes hidden in these old books!
Have you ever found any recipe gems hidden in old cookbooks? When I started flipping through the books after I got them home, I found something else hidden in one of these old cookbooks:
An old Publix receipt! Thanks to Daniel for being my hand model. Wouldn't you love to go to the grocery store and come home having spent less than $1? :)
