Found this rare recipes of old and new 1923 in blue every other one I’ve been able to find was red. It also says one edition only maybe that’s what the blue means? Dated as being gifted to a woman in 1943. Only 150$ pretty damaged but all of the online listings I can find are $350 so I’ll consider this a win. There is also some old handwriting and notes taken in this as my mom says it looks well loved

Also I found a pretty simple looking pudding recipe I will te to replicate tomorrow
I’d love to see more of the recipes I there. What an incredible find!
Perhaps the one edition only part means all in one place, or contains all previous editions as one collection.
Is there any indication of what the oldest or rarest recipes in there are?
The grease stained corners is pretty cool actually.
Sooo…has Cole Slaw always been Cold Slaw my entire life?
Fruit salad with lettuce
I’ve heard the word eschabeche but never knew what it was. I wish I still didn’t know what it was.
Great find.
There is a YouTube channel (Glen and Friends Cooking) that posts a video every Sunday making a recipe from an old cookbook. I find it fascinating. Enjoy!

Anything odd or unusual? I love weird old recipes.
Ever seen B Dylan Hollis’ Instagram or tic toc? He makes old fashion recipes from vintage cookbooks and tastes, he is hilarious!
That chicken salad recipe is a saver! I agree I’d like to see more!
The gift giver led an interesting life . I couldn’t find the recipient.

It would be amazing if you scanned and uploaded the contents to the Internet Archive.
So fabulous! Lucky you!
