A Stack of Vintage Cookbooks

My wife just brought these down from “the closet”. I had no idea of them. Who knows when I acquired these. There are 46 of them. I spent the evening going through them and there are some real gems too. Actually there is a vintage Culinary Arts Institute cookbook in the lot, “Cooking French the New Way”. Which by now is the fairly old way.

The worst of the bunch, photographically, is one titled, “Good Housekeeping’s hamburger & hot dog book; novel uses for America’s favorite meats”

The front cover has a picture of what I think is meatloaf. It really looks like someone anal dumped half their blood covered guts out on a faux wood platter. In fact it looks something like the image on the header of this page. That image is a whole other story. I will have a photo up of the guts in a day or two, or so…

Back to the stack. I really want to thin the collection so I’ll be posting reviews and having a “buy now” button at the end of each review. I really don’t want to get into the whole ebay thing, half.com is too constricting, amazon is too expensive though I may try to move a few on Etsy.com.

My oldest son did take one of the “The Blender Way to Better Cooking”. For some reason I had 2 of them. I kept the hard cover. He made a veggie and cheese sandwich spread from the book last night as a snack, weird I know, but it was tasty and made in his blender. He has a blender fetish. We ate it with RitzĀ® crackers.

More to come in the nearing Days.
