These cookbooks belonged to my Grandmother and I love looking through them for recipes.
Not only are there lots of hand-written recipes, but clippings of recipes from newspapers and magazines. It's fun to look on the back of the recipe to get a glimpse of an ad or story from decades past.
Isn't this wonderful? There are a few pages from the early 1940's showing the cost of canning fruit!
