I collect cookery books. Whenever I go on holiday I buy a local cookbook. Over the last few years I have acquired a few interesting ones from past relatives. Its funny how the recipes  have changed, although the names of the dishes remain more or less the same. Yesterday I found this book in a box in the loft, that I had forgotten I had got.. Has anyone got any interesting old cookerybooks and extracts of recipes from them

I like the way it says "if you keep searching you will find it" next to it.

Still searching at this end Sue......

Found it! On the home page!.....very interesting. (wonder if the Stork delivers it with the babies?) I know I have an interesting old one somewhere myself, so I shall have a bit of a hunt about. Can't think where it might be just now....but my mother-in-law (now passed away) had added all sorts of hand written recipes and cuttings out of magazines. It makes quite a good read. I know she has a recipe in there for what we now call "Bailey's Irish Cream". My husband remembers her making it in large quantities at Christmas....

My mum was brought up in a family who had a confectioners shop and luckily for me I have a little book with many of the recipes in, unluckily for me, the person who wrote them obviously understood cooking so well they wrote no methods down...ah . still some of the them make delighful reading, next to one there is a pencil note "a dabby mess!" so obviously she didin't enjoy making that one! Oh yes, and they have the prices next to them so I would know what to charge if I ever wanted to turn my front room into a 1920's shop!

Thats an interesting one Belle . I have a 1904 book, like the 1902 book. This one has no cover, and is called Cakes, Plain, Rich and Decorated. On the front page is a hand written recipe for toffee.

The book came from my great aunt, and I remember this toffee very well. She always had tins full of it, wrapped in grease proof paper. I won't be making any though. I had some treacle toffee yesterday when I was walking the Packhorse Trails from Todmorden to Hebden Bridge with some friends. i thought the toffee was really good, crunchy and nutty in the middle. The crunchy bits turned out to be MY TOOTH!!!

No pain, good dentist, he patched it up with something resembling polyfiller!!

Above is another of my books. I think this must have been my mum-in-laws first cookery book after she married.
