I got it for my 10th birthday in 1962, along with a wooden spoon(which I also still have, although I don’t use it anymore). The book is well-loved, going through my six siblings as they each reached the age of 10. It’s a precious memory for me.

Still, I look recipes up in it all the time. More fun is a ladies' (definitely not "women's"!) cookbook from Baton Rouge, LA. My parents married in 1950 and moved there as newlyweds, and my mother worked on a (the?) local newspaper doing the society pages, which was all they'd hire a woman to do. I bet she got a copy of the cookbook while attending some society function for the paper. In any case, I only use it for making my Thanksgiving pecan pie, and even that recipe I adapt quite a bit, but the collection of dishes is intriguing. There's one recipe for squirrel stew.KimHaysBernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02726133115831908758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-23321439178346489462022-06-23T14:59:03.855-04:002022-06-23T14:59:03.855-04:00I love the treasure troves that help you build you...I love the treasure troves that help you build your wonderful books.

Of course, penmanship was once a valued skill, and that skill is always a treat for me to view. And, the different phrasing of this older cookbook catches one's attention, too. "Break eggs lightly" has me wondering about exactly what that means. I'm delighted that this piece of culinary history of Key West is a part of the book.<br /><br />My favorite older cookbook is one I received as a gift when I got married in 1976. It is We Make You Kindly Welcome: Recipes from the Trustees House Daily Fare (Shaker Village), compiled by Elizabeth Kremer and first published in 1970. I love this 76-page gem, as it contains recipes of foods I grew up with, such as scalloped oysters and corn pudding. I also have the sequel, Welcome Back to Pleasant Hill, 92 pages. I bought that one myself. Having visited and eaten at Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill outside of Harrodsburg, Kentucky multiple times, I have that connection to it, too. What's great is that the gift shop there still sells the two cookbooks. Last Christmas I ordered several copies of each, to give my kids copies and an extra set for me. They only cost $5.50 and $5.00, so they are a real bargain.

The oldest cookbook I have is my m-i-l's Fanny Farmer, which I've never opened. Mom had Joy of Cooking and Ladies' Home Companion but I don't know what happened to them. My big brother and I loved a cinnamon pancake syrup recipe in the latter. My personal oldest books are from the early 70s: Better Homes and Gardens, McCall's, and Recipes and Remininscences of New Orleans.Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-45854423553320865722022-06-23T12:50:54.482-04:002022-06-23T12:50:54.482-04:00Oh me too Debs, now we are down a rabbit hole for ...Oh me too Debs, now we are down a rabbit hole for sure and adding books instead of getting rid of them!Lucy Burdette aka Roberta Isleibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660402177299546055noreply@blogger.com
