Three generations of Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book. The books from the 40's and 50's are at a local used book store. The book from the 90's is actually my book.

I always think older cook books look more homely and appetising than the ones these days :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a cooktastic week :-)
I agree with Steve. The older ones use the more natural ingredients ;o)
ReplyDeleteLove old cook books. Best recipes.
ReplyDeleteLove the visual history of this iconic book.
ReplyDeleteThey haven't really changed on the outside all that much over the years.
ReplyDeleteI own the last one, for about 38 years now. (got it for a wedding present)
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I have yet to own one cookbook? I guess in the technological age, there really isn't the need for one. When I was younger, I remember reading the cookbooks that belonged to my mom. Hmm, thanks for giving me something to think about.

I have this cookbook and love it! It was handed down from my Gram.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see how they change . . . and how they don't change.
