Hi Kestrel - that sounds like a great idea - put them all in one place on display and it will make them easy to reference when you need to. Thanks for watching!
Joy of Cooking was partially written in the house next door to mine. Marion Becker (the daughter of Irma Rombauer) lived in the house next door, and they worked on the book a lot over there. Irma's father was in charge of handling the Spanish Flu pandemic in St. Louis, and he saved a lot of lives.
Cookbooks are reflections of our regional histories. Especially the community church ones. When are you and Ralph going to put together a Cavalcade of Food cookbook? Would be a huge project, but definitely a keepsake!! Be safe! Be well!!
Thanks so much, Greg! You are right about the community cookbooks reflecting our regional culture and history - to me that makes them all the more wonderful. We might do a CoF cookbook someday. It's hard enough to find time to do the videos! Stay well and safe!
I really enjoyed this video. Liked how you grouped the cookbooks. I had never given that idea a thought. I realize after watching your video that I have some old cookbooks in every category. I do agree with you that those community cook books are the best source of recipes ever! I have picked up those community cook books from all over the US so I have a great diversity and some really strange recipes.
Thanks, BradyBunch! Those community cookbooks are real treasure troves of recipes and it's fun to see the regional specialties. Gives a good sense of the variety of American cooks. Thanks!
I'm sure in your massive collection you have a book like mine from the 1860s. It's packed away and I don't recall the name of it except Mrs. ? Receipts . It not only contains food preparation, but home cleaners and medicinal preparations. It's quite the tome. The famous Pillsbury contest did start in 49.The 1954 Cake Cook Off contest book is a favorite of mine, Eleanor Roosevelt was part of the event and the money prizes were huge 25,ooo for that time was life altering .K Kellogg is an interesting story, he was a health nut , the story is on u-tube . I'm looking at my 1950 California Prune and Apricot Growers / Sunsweet recipes, today as I listen to you. The artwork was also top notch in these and dish collectors will see many sets used in them . Your podcasts are so enjoyable and your sis is a peach 🍑. So lovely to hear your reminiscing about your childhood memories.
Hi lightmarker! I have a couple of really old books with recipes and household hints, but none as old as 1860. I remember seeing a photo of Eleanor Roosevelt in that Pillsbury Bake Off book - she was quite the celebrity! I just love the recipes in those old Bake Off books. I'll bet there are some good ones in your California Prune and Apricot Growers book! Thanks!
Kevin, This was so much fun! Thanks for always triggering memories of times when the world was a more gentle place. Continue to stay well..... we need you!
My go to cookbook has always been Betty Crocker. Sometimes for specific recipes but more times for general guidelines on how to cook different things like a roasting different types of meat or how to cook corn on the cob etc. There are lots of helpful charts and pointers on how to cook things that don't really have a recipe. I think it's a great book for people that are just starting out with cooking and don't have a lot of experience. Betty can almost always get you pointed in the right direction. My mother always said if you can follow directions you can cook.
The Pyrex Cookbook showed pictures of recipes made in the various casserole and glass pans. I grew up wanting to make the recipes in those exact pans/dishes shown in the pictures, which I could since they were plentiful.
Even with the ease of finding recipes on the internet I still have so many cookbooks that I will not part with. I have a few that have pages stained with ingredients that I’ve gone back to for years. Love my church cookbook. I’ve used it so often it’s had to be taped back together a few times. Thanks for another great video. Love and good health to you and Ralph and your sister. ❤️
Thanks so much, Bonnie! Isn't it nice to have cookbooks like that where you go back to over and over again? They are like old friends that are always there. Hope you and yours are well and safe!
Kevin, Cavalcade looks like a perfect place to spend quarantine although I'd probably put on 20 lbs given an ample larder. I share your love of cookbooks, and once found an entire collection of ethnic cooking books at a huge flea market in east Texas. It looked like they all belonged to the same lady. I bought some for next to nothing and was sad I couldn't bring them all home. They really do make one feel a connection to the former owners. I think that's their appeal to me.
Jeffrey - I couldn't agree more about the appeal of cookbooks and connecting to the original owners. They also serve as "time machines" for me, and transport me back to the time they were published and let me in on how people were cooking and eating. Thanks so much!
Kevin, God Bless you, my friend. I miss you and Ralph a lot. This has been a great video about the history of cookbooks. I have never heard of Fannie Farmer until now-I guess i have lived a sheltered life. LOL You guys are the best YT personalities-bar none. I agree with you that the local community cookbooks are great-they are my go-to's. I have several. They are cook friendly. No extravagant or hard to find ingredients, just things the average cook will have in the pantry. The recipes are good and tasty. Thank you for checking in with us! You are loved by by this viewer. Please take care and give Ralph a very warm hello from me. :-) Thank you, Mary Ann, for your help as well.
Hi Princess Skate - thanks for all the love and support! It is deeply appreciated! I agree with you about the community cook books. Good recipes that aren't fussy or hard to put together. I'm sure many of them have been family favorites for many years. I gave Ralph and Marianne your best wishes! Hope you and yours are safe and well!
LOL before internet my eye before electric typewriters... those cookbooks are really really cool good luck to you all send my best to Ralph and you all stay safe warm and well
We appreciate the fact that you're helping us get through this thing! I think you did a wonderful job pointing out all the cookbooks! Although you forgotten the recipes we either had to endure or that became standbys for years Ladies Home Journal. Reader's Digest. And many other ladies magazines which came out monthly. I still love and if I could find it I would make it I somewhere misplaced it when I move from New York and unfortunately my grandmother has passed away. Glazed ham loaf. And also this one was from the Reader's Digest Japanese fruit pie. Those were all time favorites! But for every one of those there were a few failures. And if you got invited to anyone's home for get-togethers if it was more than one place in one month everyone would have that recipe from that one magazine so you say haven't we had enough Lord! LOL thank you for bringing back such great memories of my childhood! It sure makes today better you given me the giggles and much joy in this time of uncertainty and sadness
Beryl, you don't know how many times I find a cook book and it's jammed with clippings from newspapers and magazines. I remember my mom reading Better Homes & Garden and always looking at the recipes in every issue. She would try some from time to time. People were always looking for the next food craze. Thanks so much - stay well!
Vi love the booklets that use to come with appliances it’s a share their too cheap to still do it. I have hundreds of cookbooks I was hoping you would do a show on your collection thank you
Another great episode! Joy is my go-to cookbook and always will be. My question is.....where did you get that fudge frosting to make the Tunnel of Fudge Cake? They discontinued that years ago! Is there an actually good substitute?
Hi rmgtnsteele! Joy is such a great cookbook! I made it all from scratch because that frosting is no longer made. I'm not sure if there is something currently available on the market that would work the same way. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your AMAZING collection! WOW! I still have my Joy of Cooking cookbook and I still to this day swear they have the best classic dressing recipe! I would love to write a cookbook, but it is a LOT of work indeed! LOL...Tunnel of Fudge...I will just leave that one there...hahaha...you might want to change the name when you make it. LOL Stay safe. Good to see you. And HI MER! xox
You're welcome! Joy of Cooking is one of the best. The cake now is often called a "molten" chocolate cake or "lava" cake, but it's the same thing. It was a Pillsbury Bake Off winner back in 1966! Stay strong and safe!
The Euro Cooking Canuk - I have the “Joy of Cooking” book also but cannot locate the “classic dressing” recipe you mention. Is there a different name it goes by in the book itself? I would like to try it. Many thanks and be well.
She used to have a TV program from the early- mid 50's, it used to be on Retro TV. I read something on her that in the mid thirties she worked at a hotel in Germany and had some infamous patrons.
Hi Kevin! Love this episode. I, too, collect old cookbooks. I had the White House cookbook and unfortunately, it was the ONLY thing my dog ate as a puppy. Out of all the cookbooks, it had to be that one! Oh well. All things considered, it could have been much worse! I agree with you that the community/church cookbooks are indeed the best. Tried and true. I also agree that the more stained/used the book looks, the best bet that there will be quality recipes (or receipts) to be found! Be well! Adam.
Hi Adam!! Hope you guys are safe and well!! Sorry about your White House cookbook, but I'm sure the puppy didn't felt bad :-) I really love reading those community cook books - so many great recipes. Take care and stay strong!
A lot of those companies had their own test kitchens that produced recipes to the consumer there old 16mm stock film where companies they invite the consumer to consault them for recipes
I have quite a few recipe books from food manufacturers and I've not experienced a bad recipe in them. Their test kitchens really made sure the recipes worked and were good. My go-to chocolate frosting recipe is right out of an old Hershey's recipe book. Thanks for watching!
I love the JOY Cookbook.I like to just read cook books. I have a reprint of a Duncan Hines cookbook written by the real man. I enjoy you RUclips post, you just don't do them often enough. ya'll take care.
Thanks, Fred! Joy is a great cookbook. I have a Duncan Hines cookbook where he shares recipes from some of his favorite restaurants. People often forget he was a real person.
Do you have the English classic, “Mrs. Beeton’s Everyday Cookery” in your collection? I have a copy given to my Mum for a wedding gift in 1953. I also have just about every Sunset Magazine cookbook ever published.
I don't have "Mrs. Beeton's Everyday Cookery" in my collection. I think I might only have one or two English cook books. I do have a couple of Sunset books - wonderful recipes!! Thanks for watching!
Julia Child's was fantastic, I made coq au van by writing down as watched her show! It didn't come out bad either! I still watch her reruns, her and Justin Wilson, great shows, don't make Tv like that any more!
They sure don't! Julia was a joy to watch and I've made a number of her recipes over the years and they always turn out well. I'm glad we can still see the reruns! Thanks for watching!
I did a community cookbook when I was in college for a communication class. I had a practicum teaching at a parent participation preschool. I asked parents to submit a family favourite recipe and asked each child to draw a picture to go along with it. I had the books printed and bound and we ended up using them as a fundraiser for the field trip fund. I still have mine ( 32 years later) and still have a good giggle when I look at it. 😍

This is so neat! I am going to try and figure out how to display my cookbooks at some point, in my prep room. Such great resources that have held up!
Hi Kestrel - that sounds like a great idea - put them all in one place on display and it will make them easy to reference when you need to. Thanks for watching!
Loved this episode! Lot of fun, great information. Thank you.

Hi Shahrdad - so cool that the house next door has this connection to one of the most popular cookbooks ever written! Thanks for sharing!
Cookbooks are reflections of our regional histories. Especially the community church ones.
When are you and Ralph going to put together a Cavalcade of Food cookbook?
Would be a huge project, but definitely a keepsake!!
Be safe!
Be well!!
Greg Budig-I would certainly buy their cookbook! :-)
Thanks so much, Greg! You are right about the community cookbooks reflecting our regional culture and history - to me that makes them all the more wonderful. We might do a CoF cookbook someday. It's hard enough to find time to do the videos! Stay well and safe!
I’m a cookbook addict! Love this!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for another great episode. My wife and kids make fun of me with my classic/ vintage cookbook fascination 🍴🍴👍👍
Hi Scot! Tell them having vintage cookbooks is a sign of a good cook!! Thanks!

I love community cookbooks! Not only does the proceeds go to a good cause but you get recipes that real families have enjoyed for decades.
Hi Bill - I agree about community cookbooks. You know so many of those recipes have been in families for generations.

Love this video. Thank you Very interesting. I never knew Fannie Farmer standardized measurements.
Hi Peggy - thanks for watching!
Nice to have a great time with your family. Take care. GM 🌞 😁
It is nice to have extra family time - that's an upside to having to stay at home. Hope you and yours are safe and well, Georgiann!
The Pyrex Cookbook showed pictures of recipes made in the various casserole and glass pans. I grew up wanting to make the recipes in those exact pans/dishes shown in the pictures, which I could since they were plentiful.
The White House Cookbook was a very nice gift.......I saw an identical one sold in an estate auction sale last year and it went for $200.
Thanks for letting me know, MrScottie68! I will make sure I take extra good care of it!
