Since this week brought us National Book Lover's Day, I thought I'd add a list of books that were published in 1940. It's been a while since I have done one of these lists, and this time I added children's books to the mix. You can see my entire list on my blog today. Link's in my bio. And, yes, Caps for Sale is on the list.
The American Woman’s Cook Book is one I find myself reaching for again and again. Since today is National Book Lovers Day, I’d love to hear what your favorite vintage cookbooks are. They don’t have to be from the 1940s. Any decade is fine. What are your favorites and why? Do you have a favorite recipe from them? I’d love to hear from you!
Here are some picnic recipes from the July 1939 issue of Woman’s Day. I thought these would make a fun First Monday Menu for the end of summer.
I used this black-eyed pea recipe to finish off my series on the USDA’s shopping guides from 1942. It’s got a bit of a kick to it and would work great with almost any meal. You can read more about the individual charts over on my blog. The link is in my bio.
Look at this almost perfect sample of shelf paper from 1945. I love it! Do you still line your shelves with paper? Did you in the past? You can see the entire page it is on on my blog. Link’s in my bio.
It’s that time of year again! To celebrate 4 years of History in the Kitchen, I’ve rounded up some favorite wartime recipes all in one place. You can find them all, including this wonderful pear cake, on my blog today. Link’s in my bio. Thanks for sharing the past 4 years with me!
