Sometimes <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">refered</span> to as books for the young housekeeper, cookery, or domestic receipt books, they are a true goldmine of information. They are for the most part classified as usually being published before 1901 (tail-end of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Victorian</span> age) and almost always having 1 or more sections included other than recipes. The sections can include home remedies, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">housekeeping</span> tips and schedules, home laundering instructions, marketing and menu planning, childbirth and nursing information, and the very common etiquette or social rules chapter. There's a reason I refer to these babies as the "one stop shops" or "all in one" antique cookbooks.<br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_5dN7oxq0P5P9XUT4c_rcMJUr_93ZJKSzBeS3QwlWIhQYyPSqtvCzIifJAgp_jvrTJxhtfJdzldeamFkgGCQMiJsNcc1VLq8pr9s-oZj_Up9pAvLIkmHzE2Etf1RjgkOOcFqC5Vrkpnqm/s1600/DSC07987.JPG"><span style="font-family:courier new;"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551796767365414770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_5dN7oxq0P5P9XUT4c_rcMJUr_93ZJKSzBeS3QwlWIhQYyPSqtvCzIifJAgp_jvrTJxhtfJdzldeamFkgGCQMiJsNcc1VLq8pr9s-oZj_Up9pAvLIkmHzE2Etf1RjgkOOcFqC5Vrkpnqm/s320/DSC07987.JPG" /></span></a><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">There's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">definitely</span> cookbooks with subjects like these being published after 1901 and they are fabulous in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">their</span> own right, there's also with later printings of the old hard to find originals that do have a place in a collectors world, but for now lets focus on the . Word of caution though, everybody has their own definition of the word "antique" and "vintage" and even though "generally" vintage is known for being 20 years or older. "Antique" is a little harder to nail down, being divided into 50% of collectors thinking 50 years or older and 50% thinking it's 100 years and older, but to the general public, the ones that have the bulk of the market, it seems to be anything older than yesterday. Please be forewarned that there are some (non-collector) sellers throwing the word "antique" on their 70's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">BH</span>&G's and Taste of Home cookbooks, and really it IS inevitable that you will have to just hunker down and weed out all the Atkins and Jenny Craig's if your looking to purchase old cookbooks online to save money.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">Speaking of weeding out, also be on guard for all the *expletive* <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Pdf</span> files of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">download able</span> cookbooks some nasty and unethical sellers are trying to get you to buy, trying to make it seem like your buying an actual printed book but after purchasing finding out it's only a cesspool of typos and bad grammar that would make Mrs. Beeton herself want to strangle someone. A general rule of mine though is "if it doesn't have a picture of the actual book itself, I'm not buying". That weeds out generally about 75% of them as the majority <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">usually</span> have (the same) stock cover photo attached to the listings along with INSANE prices leading you to think it's the real deal. This goes for current reprints as well, available at big box book stores. </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">So let's say you found one, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">YAY</span>! and it's one that you've been looking for or maybe it just looks cool, the next step is to determine the condition, and yes it matters, as finding it is just half the battle. Condition is what really puts a value to the cookbook and tells you what you should spend. The rarer the cookbook, the more forgiveness is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">allotted</span> to the condition. Same generally goes for age, the older it is, obviously the more wear it will have. BUT and this is a big but, and I understand it will be different for every collector but I will almost never buy a cookbook with loose pages or detached covers. Unless we're talking a 1700's Hannah <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">Glasse</span> or another one of a kind <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">equivalent</span>, where I shall not even think twice, generally these specific issues are too big to forgive. Remember these are investments! I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">recommend</span> having an idea in your head and also price limits beforehand, as it's EXTREMELY easy to get excited and get caught up in that "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">omg</span>, I have to buy it now before someone else does" feeling. Next thing you know you have it in your hands and are trying to hold back tears because it smells like mold, missing 12 pages and the cover came off while trying to open it. In my opinion, if I'm going to spend the kind of money that comes with some of these precious books, I'm going to get exactly what I want and then some, and if that means I might have to wait another 6 months until all the stars align and the right copy is available to me at the right time then so be it, it's what makes it exciting and I love that "treasure -hunting" feeling! </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">I'll be going into the 2nd half of this post and what's exactly found in these historic cookbooks, along with recipes, some household tips and remedies and more pics later tonight:)</span>CookbookAddicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01430989843670055815noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877800572056502954.post-80525633599676846312010-11-14T16:19:00.002-06:002010-11-14T16:21:51.316-06:00What's your favorite part of the Holidays?<span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">With the upcoming holidays and everyone thinking about heritage and history, are there any very special recipes you could share from your past?

Her recipes are simple, classic and easy to follow. The history that sorrounds her makes her seem spunky yet classic, I love that. She came to America all the way from Scotland and in her lifetime she had quite a few very popular magazine editing jobs under her belt, Collier's Weekly, the Delineator and Success Magazine being just a few. While getting her start in the highly competitve magazine field she used to say that "No wider experience can be gained than in answering the questions that come from housekeepers to a home magazine. In learning how to solve problems for other people, you absorb a multiplicity of knowledge that cannot be achieved in one home." So combining a special lady like Curtis and a big name like Good Houskeeping, they made cookbook history.<br />This peticular cookbook was promoted as being the first to come out with the new slender size to help the housewife with it's space saving design, it also has blank sheets for notes on every other page. Good Housekeeping also prided itsef on it's recipes being tested by not only Curtis but company paid testers and it's magazine subscribers as well. It's a great example of one of Good Housekeeping's ideals as a company, to try and make housekeeping more efficient and buisness-like to take some of the stress out of running a house in the early 1900's. A true original and very special antique cookbook to collectors.CookbookAddicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01430989843670055815noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877800572056502954.post-20977868204559217262010-11-01T22:02:00.003-05:002010-11-02T08:42:34.679-05:00Looking for a lost Cookbook?Have you lost or become seperated from your most beloved and favoritest cookbook?

When I hear "1930's", I automatically think about the great depression. I think about having to do without and the overwhelming pressure to feed loved ones with just your creativity and the little food you were able to scrape together. Researching this post though I have realized that there's another side.

According to the food historians, the Great Depression was not such a period. Why? There was an ample, inexpensive food supply. People struggling to make and put food on the table had the option of purchasing lesser grades of meat (chuck instead of sirlion beef), cheaper cuts of animal (heart, brains, feet), and manufactured substitutes (Crisco instead of butter). Folks who needed help were served by private soup kitchens and government programs. These services were in place throughout the country."</em></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><em></em></span><br /></span><div><div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524281494675837762" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 135px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 109px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwZS2f_y4pfVNKMuhZsHPnOVkLR9MBYyKGfztVvaWXto4PpP_25KRh6sMeb6lPFu9v7pyfrDrzg3ll0z4Luy6USRYHPcRKpryV4tRzvMiYan3jvSvxdyMnqj8ZkdSpXeBj0Fg9XQd2uzZF/s200/depression.jpg" border="0" />You hear the word "soup kitchen" and I automatically think about long lines of starving people waiting desperately for relief from their hunger. But what surprised me was reading that people had a good hearty bowl of soup along with bread and you were even able to go back for seconds and thirds. The hardtimes are only addressed in alot of 1930's cookbooks with "cutting back" and "streatching your dollar" chapters but no shocking ingredient recipes or stories and the same goes for magazine articles and other publications.

Writing this post has completely gotten me intrigued, completely confused and wanting to talk to people that have actually been through this difficult time in American history. There seems to be only 2 views, one is how mind-numbingly terrible it was and the other is a "still bad but on a much lesser level". I cant help but wonder what the majority of America was experiencing on an everyday level. I know there are tons of differences(dustbowl,income,etc.) that affect peoples situations during this time but how bad was bad for the majority of people. There're are stories sorrounding my grandmother growing up in the 30's and having to eat lard sandwhiches and getting in big trouble with her father for making a peanut butter butter AND jelly sandwich as a child when she should've made just one or the other. The same lady who now hoards canned goods "just in case". Who better to talk to and get some answers, as thankfully and gratefully she's still with us and wants nothing more to visit and talk! Which gets me thinking about Grandparents and people from past generations in general. Being a huge history fan, what better resource to learn from than the ones that have gone through it first hand and have thier own unique perspective to share, what a precious resource we have and take for granted. Why do we not know more about exactly what it was like? Alot of people from my generation (late 70's:)seem to have a vauge generalization (including me) about the depression era and there's something so sad about that. Why are we not getting all of the normal everyday stories down, while the people that lived through them are still here? Their lives were not like ours today. To the people that lived through 2 world wars and the introduction of CARS, What were your dreams? What were YOUR grandparents days like? How did your parents meet? It's not enough just to have geneology lines drawn, there's stories that go with every single name on your family tree. Know them, write them down! There is DEFFINATLY more to come!</span> </div></div></div>CookbookAddicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01430989843670055815noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877800572056502954.post-45075336959558493322010-09-21T09:47:00.015-05:002010-09-21T10:18:56.110-05:00One of the reasons I do what I do....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglOMTSDdf3JJraHZFXQKO6acRxpLHnhqCo5nDKQ10T_JkwE2wzmUuge6vS-ucjUuQennx9BXInS8py0TKcOi_q9YAcfePPmrLrYSH-8jEOGBHu_sujaM4Nr5Rhc29T3esRus6-JrVEjQ3g/s1600/DSC05815.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519381157650111618" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglOMTSDdf3JJraHZFXQKO6acRxpLHnhqCo5nDKQ10T_JkwE2wzmUuge6vS-ucjUuQennx9BXInS8py0TKcOi_q9YAcfePPmrLrYSH-8jEOGBHu_sujaM4Nr5Rhc29T3esRus6-JrVEjQ3g/s200/DSC05815.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTazXEkvWnpo9SpXhA79SZzuRDuRyeYKdMsCU46ZrnSbVv01PJDcQ_IP3fu81lNLauRL9prLZiPE6WueWuhnvnFmWCdpQJHhVWW81loBmFoXbqstJwcbZO3V92VHtS_BisTFqYXKxmXWA/s1600/DSC05825.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519382057842346242" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuTazXEkvWnpo9SpXhA79SZzuRDuRyeYKdMsCU46ZrnSbVv01PJDcQ_IP3fu81lNLauRL9prLZiPE6WueWuhnvnFmWCdpQJHhVWW81loBmFoXbqstJwcbZO3V92VHtS_BisTFqYXKxmXWA/s200/DSC05825.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Ok, I was flipping through one of my favorites and saw a recipe for Springerlie.

<br />
Light and bright cheerful colors were used often and made the space seem bright and in many cases bigger than they were.<br />

The invention of electricity made appliances absolutely mandatory and ad agencies made sure you (the consumer) knew that too.<br />

Vacuum cleaners, washing machines, toasters, electric stoves, and fans were just a few of the fancy new tools designed to save time and add comfort to daily tasks. </div>
<div>

Until the 1920s, appliances were popular, but during the 1920's, they became a MUST. Electric refrigerators replaced the ice box by the end of the decade, it was a huge shift that literally changed the way families ate. </div>

The kitchens and recipes of the 1920's are one of my absolute favorites and I hope you can see why. In my opinion it's such a great balance of simplicity with warmth and comfort. To me they inspire me to combine sweet and homey with functionality and create a space that will make and my friends and family feel at home.</div>

The authors of housekeeping and cookbooks, who were the rockstars of their time and were major movers and shakers of style and popular culture. These special ladies were trying to get others to leave the excessive and showiness of the victorian decorating style and thought that anything unnessesary or purely for decorative purposes was considered in bad taste. Some of the influence of this more minimalist syle came from all of the brand spankin new scientific data coming out about cleanliness and hygiene. Also the benefits of freash air in the home and the harmful effects of dust and ash and coal residue from fuels were big factors influencing how the typical housewife made her everyday choices.<br />It's funny though that looking at these kitchens today, with simplistic and minimalist in-style at the moment, I wonder what those authors and housewives from long ago would think of our kitchens:)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 229px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513177402844645938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHxFips_UI2CJ48IRs-AmK1NX-j3bBBl4La_VTN9ndfvCF-TnG2J0k7gcb7aYYQimvRGmp2Wo9UZ4x4k_KFaQAVv5bfi8C9q-PHZ6WBy7aVSlvKOB3Qx_b8kiEx3cOzjnNm0BlaQXp6klX/s320/JUST-ABOVE-THIS-KITCHEN-IS-ANOTHER.jpg" />CookbookAddicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01430989843670055815noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877800572056502954.post-60256763778088569012010-09-02T22:44:00.012-05:002012-02-28T08:35:49.970-06:00An appreciation for the past<div>

This week I'm going to do a series showing examples of kitchens of the pasts. This idea came from encountering some people who *gasp* were wondering why some of us have such a love affair with vintage cookbooks. Yes they're out there!<br />
<br />
For me one of the reasons is getting that knock down reality check that we all sometimes need when we think we have it hard. I think about the amount of love that the mothers and wives of the past would've had to have had to keep cooking day after day with none of the time saving equipment we take for granted today. It's one thing to say it must of been hard work but it's another to actually see what little they were working with and to imagine ourselves attempting to do it.<br />
<br />
We see recipes today that have changed little over the years except in the way they are prepared and that is the part that we forget, the absolutely amazing unsaid preperations behind what are more than a just list of ingredients. To bake a cake in the 17th century meant to do it over an open flame and gauging temperaturing by sticking a piece of paper in and seeing how long it took to brown or sometimes ev<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1-zr5HMdH4NhIlYM8nxQGjsXZKkmZ0E8I-bYjaGM3wQSuVl-5MKfYjPvCRN_MPFKO0hsVMkceAxi-sJhoVdHSyz6PMQ1imYvHuiQOUsjzqdLenj62gdQ7E-UDt5w7GhVL8h2MTLH7Iuv/s1600/cabinet.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512594086331678322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1-zr5HMdH4NhIlYM8nxQGjsXZKkmZ0E8I-bYjaGM3wQSuVl-5MKfYjPvCRN_MPFKO0hsVMkceAxi-sJhoVdHSyz6PMQ1imYvHuiQOUsjzqdLenj62gdQ7E-UDt5w7GhVL8h2MTLH7Iuv/s320/cabinet.jpg" style="cursor: hand; float: right; height: 321px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 218px;" /></a>en your hand went in, if you were a good cook. Can you imagine the watching and the waiting, even simple things like the adjusting of temperature took time and work, you didn't turn a knob like today, but had to add more wood or open your flue and you used ingredients that were precious and expensive and couldn't be purchased again if mistakes were made. Such pressure!<br />
<br />
So when I come across an early cookbook and see notes about what worked and what didn't, I think that this recipe or this cookbook that I hold in my hands must be good if she went through all that she did and made it. Enjoy and let me know what you think:)</div>

The title is American Cookery and is a collection of the best recipes from the past all in one book with Beards opinions and tips for making the food in current times. This specific recipe is from The Neighborhood Cookbook from 1914 and sounds exotic but is simple enough for me to make it for my family pretty regularly with minimal preplanning. I hope you enjoy:)<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Hungarian Chicken</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Ingredients</span></strong><br />6 Chicken legs and Thighs<br />1 cup of flour or more<br />1 Tbsp paprika<br />2 tsp salt<br />1/2 tsp pepper<br />4 Tbsp butter<br />4 Tbsp oil<br />1 1/2 cups onions<br />Additional butter and oil<br />1 cup broth, more if needed<br />1 Tbsp additional paprika<br />1 cup sour cream<br />1 Tbsp finely cut lemon rind<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Directions</span></strong><br />Put the chicken pieces in a bag with the flour and seasonings and shake well. Heat the butter and oil in a heavy skillet till quite hot, and brown the chicken pieces well on both sides. Transfer to a piece of foil or asorbent paper. Add the onions to the skillet and brown very well, using additional butter and oil if needed. Return the chicken pieces to the pan with the broth and the additional paprika and simmer, covered , till the chicken is just tender- about 20 minutes. If the broth is asorbed add more. Transfer the chicken to a hot serving dish. Add the sour cream to the pan off the heat,stir into the pan juices. Heat for 1 minute. Pour over the chicken pieces. Serve over noodles.<br />Super Yummy!CookbookAddicthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01430989843670055815noreply@blogger.com1
