Which Reader Are You?
How about Vintage Cookbook That Reads like a Novel, and takes days to finish? They had it all: weird recipe names, strange ingredients no longer available (#2 can Cream of Shrimp soup!), the mystery of wondering how the recipe would turn out, section illustrations by a local artist, and maybe a few professional photos all in saturated Kodachrome featuring several completed dishes and possibly the happy hostess. The best old cookbooks were the Junior Service League fundraisers from the 50s-60’s, but really, any old one will do. It’s a good read.
