Cookbook Project!

Tomorrow I will embark on the great Cookbook Project! As you can see I have a nice collection of old cookbooks, but sometimes they get forgotten. When one feel the need to bake something, one usually reaches for the tried and true recipes. But there are so many unusual and great recipes in those cookbooks, I can't stand letting them get forgotten! So I am going to cook two recipes from one of my cookbooks a month and share them with you! Most of my books I have had for years and not tried five recipes out of each one!
A few cookbooks are going to be challenging as they aren't always clear in their directions, as you will see. Come back tomorrow and read about Ginger Snaps!

  2. I thought you might weed through them and toss some away. Yours are so totally organized; mine, not so much.

  3. Great idea. I'm looking forward to it. I *love* my old cook books. My 1950 edition of Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book is one of my favorites because of all the extra little comments and quaint information included. It looks like you have this book too. I'll be watching for your recipes.
