I will add pictures of the books as I use them. There are... um... more than a few...
|
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. |
|
Ohio State Grange Cook Book, 1952 |
|
Maida Heatter's Book of Great Chocolate Desserts, 1980. I had
two reasons for buying this one: 1) chocolate and 2) at a glance, the
author resembles my mother-in-law, circa 1975. But it was mostly for
#1. |
|
Better Homes and Gardens new Cook Book, 1953. This one was so
battered that I felt like I had to give it a good home. It's a good
thing, too, because it contains my go-to yellow layer cake, the Best
Two-Egg Cake recipe. |
|
The New Fannie Farmer Boston Cooking School Cook Book, 1951. I have
several editions of this book, from a reproduction copy of the original
1896 book through this one. |
|
Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book, 1950, reprinted in the
mid-1990s. I taught myself to cook with my mom's copy of this book and
it's still one of my most-used books.
|
|
Farm Journal's Country Cookbook, 1959. My mom has always liked
the cookbooks from Farm Journal, so when I saw this one at an estate
sale I picked it up. While browsing it, I saw a shout out for Reader
Recipe Month over at Caker Cooking and this masterpiece was chosen to be a part of it. |

I have the no-knead bread book and explored it a couple of years ago. It's quite good, except now I have heavy duty KA mixer, so I don't mind kneading anymore. :)
ReplyDeleteIs it bad if I have a KA mixer and *still* use it to mix up the no-knead recipes? ;)
