I'm so happy to share my love of mid-century cooking and old recipe books with others. I'll be cooking vintage recipes, sharing cookbook reviews, and even showing off my latest vintage cookbook haul every now and again. I'm cooking through history and you're invited!
Follow along as I prepare a recipe from one of my many vintage cookbooks. Will the results be delicious, or disastrous? There's only one way to find out. Thanks for checking out my vintage cookbook review and recipes and joining me in my vintage cooking corner.

Would you like to see these Sweet Potato Volcanoes on your Thanksgiving table? Also, where can I buy some butter dots? Let me know in the comments!

Yes please, I also collect vintage cookbooks and pamphlets from the featured products. But my husband laughs when he tells me he is not a fan of your channel because my collection has grown. He’s kidding of course because he’s just as interested in the recipes and where you find them as I am. Ha ha ha. Please keep them coming Oh yes and invite Dolly into more of your videos please.😊🍽️🥣🍳🧈

I’m thinking you could just grate some cold butter instead of scooping dots?

Just a thought, back in the day, the cookbooks recognised that a lot of the time, the books were given to first time cooks which included the newlywed. So they where often geared that way. And depending on the date of the book, reflects the economy of the times and fold trends. Which I think makes the vintage books even more fun!!!

Fold top of piping bag until it's about halfway down, then fill the bag. It also keeps the filling from seeping out the top. Learned that from making tons of cakes.

@daughteroftheblackmadonna8936 8 ай бұрын

Yes! That’s the way!

@pamchamberlin6703 10 ай бұрын

Cuff the top of the piping bag way down before filling. I learned that years ago from my cake-decorating mom.

You can omit the pineapple and add an egg instead. Then I pipe them into stars and then freeze or bake

It's books like these that really make you cry a little that great illustration is no longer a part of the whole cookbook scene. It's not that modern books aren't beautiful, but it was such a stylistic staple of this era over a long span of time that now seems lost to the ages. Ah well. I feel like my name was invoked frequently in this era of recipes, but really, my carrots are just basic?? Is this a read? Boooo. You should have totally tried some coconut in this! Follow your instincts Anna! And trust your piping! These look like they'd be so tasty! Another outstanding video my friend.

@cooking_the_books 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you!! You are so right! My next video covers a cookbook from 1980, and the differences in language and the photos/illustrations are huge. Much less whimsical. When I saw those carrots, I immediately thought "Susan would make much more interesting carrots than these!" At least the bunny was cute! 🐰

That book is super cute! It is pretty funny that cooking frozen fries and adding salt is a recipe in there. LD doesn't like sweet potatoes, but maybe if I served them as volcanoes he would give them another try. (and if you fold the top of the piping bag down a bit it's easier to fill. 😉

Worth a try! I posted this video in a vintage cookbook group I'm in on Facebook, and one of the commenters said her kids would likely eat anything shaped like a volcano. 😂
