In 2011 I started a blog of Throwback Recipes. I didn’t check the dates to see how long I kept it up but it was short lived.
Here’s an example of a post. My mother’s Chocolate Pound Cake Recipe
Last week at the Community Center I saw an old cookbook on the “Free Table” so I brought it home and found a handwritten recipe and a newspaper clipping and had fun going through the pages. It was from Lake Charles. Louisiana first printing in 1965
Raggedy Ann Salt Ornament
a Pea Salad
and Cornflake Macaroons
Wonderful!
Thanks Sheree
What a wonderful find!! I have some of my mom’s recipe books put together by her church women’s group. I love looking through it and seeing familiar names from my past. The recipes are very good too.
Did you make any recipes?
My mother’s chocolate pound cake is delicious and improves with age if you put it in a tin.
This is a fantastic find! It makes me want to go through my mother’s cookbook. I have many of her handwritten recipes stuffed in it. What a treasure.
And I’ve seen on ETSY that a recipe in handwriting can be printed on a tea towel. Thanks Vincie
I have a few cook books that church ladies put together and sold. I remember the ladies and the recipes are tasty.
Those make for great reading. Nice to remember the creators.
