Today, I made meat pies (Tortierres) for Christmas. #HolidayRecipe #WinterGames24 #HolidayBookDragons @StayCurious
Happy Thanksgiving, Litsy Family!!! 🍁🦃🍂🥧❤️ #Thanksgiving2022
My well-loved Joy of Cooking, Vol. 2. Cookies anyone? 🍪🎄📚🤩#cookiesoflitsy
You can see that the pumpkin pie page has gotten LOTS of use over these last 20 years. 😂🧡🥧
It‘s that time of year again! I‘ve been making pies all day long. Cherry, pecan, now apple, and I‘m making pumpkin pie and fresh whipped cream in the morning. 🍁🍂🍒🍎🥧
#tarottakeover Day 3: The Fool, a card of rash adventures, new beginnings, pleasure, and passion, often the results of ill advised decisions. I offer The Joy of Cooking. My mom bought this for me when I got my first apartment. That was many years ago, but even with so many adventures with this book, I still often underestimate how long it will be until I get to eat. 🙄
Thank you, @Insearchofbooks for your generous treats in the last #recipeswap package! I have added my recipes to the book and it and a couple treats on their way to you today, @whippoorwill815 ☺️
I do love a sassy cookbook.
“Let‘s look at a few lucky volume-weight relationships that for the moment protect you, as a new cook, from the menace of that old dragon Mathematics — and his allies, Physics, Chemistry and Semantics. Here are some of our victorious, if homely, weapons, tested in many a battle with these old tricksters.”
One of my favourite books of all time, I first read The Bell Jar as required reading in a University course on Modern Women Writers.
Plath loved her copy of the kitchen classic, The Joy of Cooking, once writing to her mother to send it to her while away, as it was one of the only things she truly missed while away from home. Having read and studied so much of her work, it intrigues me that the book she loved was so domestic and traditional.
@hgrimes Here are the three that I mainly use (I have a few more too!) I have been doing this since college so it's been few years! 😉 It's the best way for me to remember recipes I've made (great, good and bad 😆😆)

I'm having so much fun picking recipes for #FeedaReader!!!!
1. Indian, Italian, Thai, Greek, Mexican (basically I love food, and I love discovering new cuisines)
2. Messy?
3. Don't use too many gadgets.
4. I'd love to receive a book that really resonated with YOU, dear match(es) 😁
5. Mostly savoury, but I love both. I'm trying to bake more this year
6. Wooden spoons? Not really sure...
@AmyG @Grrlbrarian @shendrix413 @Sills
New swaps to sign up for! This one looks fun, and it looks like it‘s more than just a one time deal, so that‘s super fun! See @TricksyTails and @MinDea for full details! 😊📚🍽 #FeedAReader
Tiramisu just sounded good.
The Pumpkin pie page in this cookbook has 19 years of stains. And just so we‘re clear, a cookbook is the only kind of book that that‘s acceptable to me. 😉👩🏻🍳 #Thanksgiving
So many pies to bake! This cookbook has been my go-to for years, and it‘s recipe for pumpkin pie is the only one I ever use. 👍🍎🍁🍂
I picked up a THE Joy of Cooking. Not a first edition (mine is 1946) but it predates the Rombauer-disapproved, highly edited "Joy of Cooking" you find today ?#thejoyofcooking #cookbook #antiquebook #antique
It's always nice to get mail (that's not a bill) and extra nice when it's book related!
This was a 17th birthday present from my folks (many, many years ago), and it was more or less how I kept myself fed through undergrad. @Liberty #Liberthday
Picked up a used copy of Joy of Cooking today- and discovered this inscription when I got home. Now all I can do is think up of terrible reasons that Wendy and Tom got rid of what was clearly a wedding gift 😕
Baking some banana bread this morning from my all time favorite cookbook 😛🍌
Throwback to this past Thanksgiving morning. I'm always the one who's makes all the pies for my family that day. One year I made eleven pies! We had a big crowd that year though. Happy national Pie/Pi day! #MarchIntoReading #PiPie #Baking #Pie #CherryPie @RealLifeReading
Thought I would take a #shelfie of (most of) my cookbooks. Okay, so it's not exactly a shelf, it's more like the space on my counter in between the fridge and the toaster oven. I had more than twice as many a little over a year ago, but I decided to purge when we moved. #cookbooks
A #classic for the #12daysofxmasphoto challenge. #joy #cooking
#cookbooklove all my cookbooks. At one time I had about twice many as these. I've downsized my collection gradually over the years for various reasons. Nowadays if I need new ideas that these cookbooks don't provide, I go to the internet or the library 😊. @RealLifeReading
One of many reasons I prefer cookbooks to online recipes; they double as journals for each instance I've made a dish, and capture my adjustments to recipes over time. My FIL requested grits this morning; apparently it's been five years since I last made them for him. // #cookbooks
I'm taking a break. My husband made me homemade soup! He's fantastic, he totally gets my reading obsession and didn't bat a lash when I told him about the #readathon. I'm hoping he'll join us soon here on Litsy! ❤️
First books unpacked are the cookbooks. And owl tea pots. Of which I apparently have 3...
That one makes my gf hungry as you can probably tell from the picture! #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge and I'm one day behind I know. But we had a sports event yesterday and I'm mostly crawling on all four since then.
Spent yesterday making salad dressings in 5-gallon buckets. Part of the crew feeding 2,000 volunteers and performers for 4 days at next weekend's Edmonton Folk Music Festival. Didn't get any reading done but I had fun with a giant immersion blender!
Fun fact: I wrote a history paper on this cookbook in college. Did you know Rombauer self-published the first edition?
