Wonderful early 20th century handwritten recipe book and loose recipe archive measuring approximately 7 x 8.25 inches. This heavily used home cookbook contains dozens of handwritten recipes in pencil and ink covering cakes, pies, cookies, icings, canning, preserves, household cooking references, and home remedies. Included are both the string-bound booklet and numerous loose recipe fragments and inserts tucked inside.
Recipes and notes observed include Bride Cake, Angel Cake, Devil Cake, Coconut Layer Cake, Maple Nut Cake, Chocolate Cake, Rich Fruit Cake, Pumpkin Receipt, Molasses Pie, Lemon Custards, Soft Finger Cookies, Corn Toast, spice cake, ketchup, canning tomatoes, canning corn, icing recipes, marshmallow filling, and a “Table of Equivalent Weights” conversion page. One page also contains a folk remedy titled “To Avoid Colds,” adding additional Americana household interest.
The cookbook shows extensive authentic period kitchen use throughout. Paper is fragile with edge chipping, tears, stains, toning, loose pages, detached and fragmentary recipe slips, and general wear from long-term handling and storage. Several loose recipe pages are incomplete or partially torn, but the overall group remains highly readable and visually appealing as a genuine survivor of early domestic life.
An excellent piece of Americana culinary ephemera with strong appeal for collectors of antique cookbooks, farmhouse décor, women’s history, handwritten manuscripts, genealogy material, and early home cooking archives.
