Items like old cookbooks might seem outdated and irrelevant in this day and age, but that simply isn't true.
Some of my favorite cookbooks are from the 1970s time period. To me cookbooks from that era have recipes that are based more on cooking from scratch than they are convenience or specialty foods.
To that end I would like to share a great resource with you.
The Internet Archive is a great place for looking up old cookbooks. There are multiple cookbooks on thrifty cooking as well, such as this one for Most for your Money cookbook.
Membership is free and you can even borrow books online for up to two weeks.
Of course this resource offers much more than just cookbooks, so be sure to check it out when you have some extra time.
I love old cookbooks!
ReplyDeleteI do too, Penny.
DeleteLove the older cookbooks. SO many frugal and easy recipes.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Cheryl. :)
DeleteI am looking for the cookbook I lost when my house was destroyed.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you can find it.
DeleteI love, and use, many of the recipes from my old red and white "Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook". The copyright is listed as 1969. My favorite sourdough bread recipe is from a 1973 "Better Homes and Gardens Homemade Bread Cook Book". The original price tag is still on it...$2.65
ReplyDeleteOh, I had a copy of that one when I was first married. I learned to cook many things using that cookbook.
DeleteHave you ever found a recipe that just asked for convenient ingredients. Like a bag of this and a bag of that? I mean recipes that use convenience foods. I think that is a joke.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Kim. I saw a cookbook one time dedicated to that.
DeleteYou're welcome, Renee.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's great. You're welcome.
