First published in 54, this is from the 17th edition in late 58 (yes they really made 17 editions in 4 years)
Really cool book for basic recipees and kitchen stuff. It has a lot of info on how to handle and store various ingredients, how to identify herbs, spices and mushrooms, time management and plating.
Some of the stuff fell out of time (and everything has sooooo much butter) but there are some great basic recipees in there. Will definitly try some in the future.

Ughhh now I’m dying for hot dogs and sauerkraut 🤤
What da hell 😭
You know I would try the one with fish
“Babe, what’s wrong? You’ve barely touched your audi grilled herring”
This is so cool I’m obsessed with this!
So was having a full on dead cooked fish as a centerpiece a sign of wealth? Or the trappings of elegance??
Cause it seems like a focal point in a weird number of these.
What’s the name of the cookbook?
Those pics look so unappetizing. 😂
Interesting!! Thx for sharing this. I’ve never seen this kinds of recipes before
I feel the urge to make some aspic
What are the wieners worshipping?
My mom had a bunch of old recipe books like that when we were kids and we used to laugh at how terrible everything looks. The joke usually was “Imagine having to eat this every day. Now we understand why Grandpa is angry all the time”
I’ve never seen such adorable pigs in a blanket before, lol.
I think it’s hilarious that they tried to make the sauerkraut and potatoes look like an ice cream sundae. It reminds me of when I was in Germany and had an ice cream sundae that they tried to make look like spaghetti and meatballs.
And folks wonder why people used to be so much thinner lol
