I wish I had found your channel before moving out of MI last year (not far from Saugatuck). I had so many cookbooks I would have given you! Ahhh, well…it’s fun to watch you find them!❤️

I think soft as silk was a brand of cake flour. If I remember right it was along the lines of Gold Medal wondra flour but cake flour.

I really really have enjoyed your channel! Such a breath of fresh air. I also collect vintage cookbooks, I started buying them for the art in them and then got into making the recipes. Finding your channel has allowed me to find community in the area of vintage cookbook fun! Thank you!❤

I loved watching this!! I collect cookbooks as well, especially from Watkins, a company from 1868 that's actually still around. They're from Minnesota and have the absolute best extracts and seasonings. They also had little books from the 30's about how to clean your home. One of the things they had in there for cleaning your bathtub was to use kerosene. I'm probly not going to try that, even on a porcelain tub. Their recipes are online now but antique stores could have them, that's where I got most of mine. Antique stores in the Midwest are the best places to look. I still use the recipe for Chantilly Cream which my gramma used to make, I didn't think it was a fancy thing because we always had homemade whipped cream ( had our own cows ) and I never knew what Cool-Whip was until I was a teenager. Same with pickles and spices, especially pepper. It started out and still is a company that has individual consultants and when our "watkins lady" passed away my sister and I were what are we going to do! Then we found we could get pepper, etc etc in the store. Not as good but we got by tho. Check out e-bay, they will have them once in a while too.

I have an older edition of the American Women's Cook Book that I inherited from my mother. It is definitely a favorite of mine.

I have the original 1948 version of that Polish cookbook. It was my grandma's and is well-loved!

[Lenda]

That was fun! Brasso, used that in my days, in the military, to shine our uniform brass, buttons and insignia, lol. Odd they had that pictured. ❤

For my sixth birthday ( I953) my mother made a tiered cake. I was so excited!

Just found your videos and Instagram! My mom gave me my grandmother’s cookbook, “The Greater American Cookbook” published in 1939 and 1940 for the Culinary Arts Institute and edited by Ruth Berolzheimer, Director. It has the exact same green cover style, some of the same photos, and is also indexed with tabs for different regions, i.e. New England Cook Book, Southern Cook Book, Pennsylvania Dutch Cook Book…ten regions in all, plus a “Cosmopolitan Cook Book.” My mother (who is 95 years old) made notes throughout and tucked in handwritten or typed recipes for other dishes, like Sauerbraten, for example, that I remember her making. Happy to have found your site. I have other family vintage cookbook treasures, as well!

Wonderful thanks so much love your excitement

You have me looking at some of my old cookbooks!! Reading "successful entertaining" by Ida Bailey Allen. In the table of contents I see chapters such as "the psychology of successful entertaining " and "serving without a maid" 1942. Thankyou for sharing, so much fun!

[pamelaprince]

I have the Polish ones. The illustrations are great.

[gloriastroedecke]

You got an amazing deal! I am impressed. Really good books.

[littleblackcar]

EVERYONE had the American Woman's Cookbook. We have my grandmother's copy--I think my mom said it was one of the only cookbooks she owned (she hated to cook).

[SusanP]

What a great cookbook haul! I have a copy of The American Woman cookbook that belonged to my grandmother, though your copy is in much better shape 😃

[macsarcule]

This was so great! These are _never_ too long! Love hearing about every detail, it’s the greatest! 🙂

That 70s breakfast cookbook! Oh! I’m not sure why, it made me tear up! 🥹 My fiancé was an artist and one of the styles she loved working on was emulating cookbook sketches and cookbook art in the margins and inside covers. I just love seeing all your finds!

And you have a Kismet game on your shelf! That was one of my favorites growing up because it was one I was allowed to play with the rest of the family! (I was always too little to play other things they were playing.)

Thanks for so much work you do to share these with us, I hope you’re being kind to yourself and I hope you have a nice evening! 😌✨

I have a copy of A World of Good Eating, the handwritten style cookbook from the 1950s - my mother-in-law gave it to me and said it was her husband's before they married. She said he cooked a roast from it for the first date where he invited her to his apartment! Mine didn't come with a box, but I'll take the family story!

Watching you now makes me regret donating my mother's old BH&G cookbooks after she died. I really enjoy your appreciation of every little detail, including fonts and illustrations!

[vintagebeliever]

I was just as excited as you going over your cookbook finds!! Great tips at the end! Thank you.
