I absolutely adore older cook books. I love learning and reading about history and culture changing through the medium of food. 

Some recent discoveries. 

 

Florence Greenbergs Cookery Book - 1947                                                                     Stork Cookery Service (margarine) Recipe Booklets -1950 onward 

Radiation "Regulo-Controlled" Cookery Book - 1927

While they are brilliantly informative, I tend not to follow many of the recipes in the older books, sometimes because times and tastes have changed (The "Regulo" would have me boil asparagus for 45 minutes before serving :o) and sometimes because well....

It appears to be a recipe for hotdogs, wrapped in ham, baked alongside some cheesy mashed parsnip and served with hot tomato ketchup for dipping. 
I'm sorry 1960 'Stork Around The Shows', I don't think that would be too appealing then or now.

I'm sorry 1960 'Stork Around The Shows', modern day me is not finding that to her liking.
