Thrift store find: I loaned it to a friend and forgot about it. I was considering giving it to a student not realizing I didn't even have it when it came back. The cover feels like leather, but it's a paperback. It's such a good standard.
#Boston #Augustisatrip The original Boston cooking school cookbook was published in 1896.If you look it up today, just look up Fannie Farmer.This well loved edition, the 9th,was published in 1951,this printing 1953. By then there were 2,770,500 copies in print.I‘ll bet it was lurking around you mom or Grandmas kitchen.With Joy of Cooking & the slightly newer Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook ,one or the other was in almost every American kitchen.
American chop suey recipe from an antique cookbook. The main differences from the version I grew up with is it calls for egg noodles rather than macaroni, and soy sauce! Interesting and makes sense given the history. Tasted good! I also always use ground mushrooms in place of beef, so I butcher it to begin with. 🙂 #antiquebooks
I have become quite good at breadmaking in the past year, and much of it can be blamed on forgotten tips and techniques I found in an old, falling apart cookbook from the early 1900s.
