$10 USDMetropolitan Cook Book, 1922
Home Decor:Accessories:Cookbooks:Metropolitan Insurance Cook Book
I was just reading through this Metropolitan cook book and was surprised to see so many cost-saving type recipes and/or suggestions. It would appear to be a cook book for those going through the Great Depression, but then things weren't too good in 1922, either. There are 64 pages in this softcover cook book. There are no tears or writing and the pages are clean. I was surprised at some of the suggestions, but many of them were standard procedure for our grandmothers. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad ...

$10 USDFrom Our Kitchens To Yours, First Methodist Church, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa
Home Decor:Accessories:Cookbooks
I don't have a date for this cookbook, but it appears to be from the 1950s. For one, the ads appear to be around that period of time and the phone numbers are two or three digits. I would say the late 40s to early 50s. Keep in mind that this church still runs a tent kitchen at the Old Threshers' Reunion, which is a huge event each year. These church tents are well known for their fabulous meals, generous servings and reasonable prices. They use quality ingredients and put out a quality product. ...

Julia teamed up with Jacques Pepin in a TV series and this recent cookbook, "Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home." The recipes are very detailed with many visual instructions, as well as variations. Although many of the recipes are for special ...

His book not only tells you how to cook, but how to live." Heth's cookbooks are considered collectible by some groups and are ...
