I had been so depressed after my aunt taking my books without asking I was lost but I found one on ETSY bought it but now I would love to get the other 2 back just no luck in finding them for sale so for now I will ready blogs from them much like yours and take down recipes so I will always have them your very lucky to have these books enjoy them to the fullestAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756193994710834740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-62351348041814973812011-07-06T10:38:57.473-04:002011-07-06T10:38:57.473-04:00Marie and Ann, I am so happy to have these books.

And again, I thank you for offering this challenge.<br /><br />Pat, you are right.

The apple recipe sounds so easy that I have to try it in a few months when the new apples come in season. I'm also glad you took pictures of the book to share with us. I get an idea of what the books are like from that.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-86744120060894002432011-07-03T19:23:40.255-04:002011-07-03T19:23:40.255-04:00What fun.

It uses soy flour and my husband (who must eat gluten-free) always liked it.<br />Now, it seems that soy flour is not considered very healthy, so I've not made it for a while.<br /><br />Also, what about that next recipe, "Confection Celeste"? Any chance you could tell us about it.<br />Better yet, make it and send it to me! HA!

A most lovely gift, indeed, and what a fitting poem. <br /><br />I love cookbooks and often read them like novels, propped up in bed or on a cozy chair and I especially love older cookbooks like these. You remind me of some I have acquired that were from the Ford Motor Company that I keep meaning to write about. Thank you, for the post, and for the incentive to do that writing as well. <br /><br />You always inspire, Nan.

My mum has a cook book (it is the original, not a reprint) from the 1880s, it contains some recipes we would consider very odd nowadays, and portions were HUGE - usually, households were bigger then, including staff, and people were generally eating more at meals because they did not snack around in between meal times, plus they worked a lot harder physically.<br />Love the picture of Tom!! And had you not mentioned it, I don't think I would have looked at the hole in the ceiling :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-60115639474701731262011-06-30T21:26:24.135-04:002011-06-30T21:26:24.135-04:00I am so so glad you are enjoying the books!
