I have my grandmother's Watkins cookbook from the 1940's.
Grandma Nellie Slater Tiffany passed away quite young, when I was quite young. It is a treasure to me to see her writing in this book.
I was looking through the cookbook recently on my hunt for a good oatmeal cookie. I found some rather interesting recipes.
Here is good nutrition via 1940.
But look what I found in grandma's writing.
I think it would be fun to try this recipe!
Just might do that soon.
Oh, the bathroom battens are all puttied and caulked. Yay!

What a treasure! I look forward to hearing about how that recipe turned out.
ReplyDeleteI agree there are quite a few odd recipes in there - things I've never heard of, like Fermanlactol and dissolvents. So interesting. I love making old recipes - makes you feel connected with the past.
ReplyDeleteEgg gruel sounds so yummy! NOT! :) It's so funny what was an acceptable recipe name back then versus now.
ReplyDeleteKim, I so agree! Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
