Can't wait to download the cookbook, and check out links mentioned in the comments. It's great to find others who read cookbooks for fun (and cooking, of course). My husband thinks it's weird that I often have cookbooks on my bedside table.Laurie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631139658218478694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-91961461003596144902011-12-16T10:41:43.216-07:002011-12-16T10:41:43.216-07:00Sooooo interesting.

Here is the blurb on the front: "Original 1890's recipes complete with low-fat, no-fat, quick, & great-tasting modern versions". I kid you not. I think I'll stick to the 1890's versions myself. :) There are so many great recipes. <br /><br />The original egg nog recipe involves 12 eggs and "rich milk". The modern version: liquid egg substitute and skim milk. The Hollandaise Sauce original: butter, egg yolks. Modern version: liquid Butter Buds, liquid egg substitute, and yellow food coloring!!! YUCK!<br /><br />Sorry this is long, but the recipes in this book show the stark contrast between a truly nourishing diet and the standard American, chronic disease ridden diet.

I love liver with mashed potatoes and gravy, or with a dippy egg served on it, but sometimes it's hard to make the effort to eat it. But anything that says "with salt pork" is a "sign me up for that!". :-)<br /><br />@Lindell Family- "a pat of butter about the size of an egg".

I've ...Here's a site to buy old cookbooks. I've bought a few from them over the past two years. Some are quite expensive, others aren't too bad. http://www.oldcookbooks.com/<br /><br />Back in the early 1980's I bought a book called The American Heritage Cookbook, because I am very interested in the history of the time the recipes were used, as well as how they were made and eaten at the time. So it's like a history lesson/cookbook all in one. Then I later discovered there is a companion book to it (with the same title) which is a wire-bound book of just the recipes. Awesome! Also, through a cooking forum where I belong, another lady told me there wass also an earlier version of this called the Heritage Cookbook. Sure enough, there is! I ordered it and love it. The recipes are still very useable.<br /><br />Since I've changed the way my family eats to a more WAPF friendly version (although I always ate very much that way anyhow, because that's how I ate when was growing up on a cattle ranch) I do change some of the ingredients for healthier versions, but the recipes are still quite good. I get some fabulous ideas if nothing else, and make up my own recipes. <br /><br />I've taken all of my old church cookbooks, etc., and changed out things, such as changing "margarine" to "butter" and such. <br /><br />Just some food for thought for you younger gals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-35755979129815042782011-06-17T14:06:41.418-06:002011-06-17T14:06:41.418-06:00Old cookbooks are a glorious thing.

And I love that everything is approximate...no measuring required. That's my kind of cooking. :)The Lindell Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744550204859686716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-14500596897598827252011-06-15T07:13:02.566-06:002011-06-15T07:13:02.566-06:00How cool!How cool!Laryssa Herberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364948532904322766noreply@blogger.com
