any of you may be
with the White House Cookbook. Originally published in 1887, randmother's 1915 edition is the only cookbook she owned. It's very fragile, as you can see. I rarely use it, but there are certain recipes and information in it that I find invaluable.
Imagine my excitement when I found a 1967 edition of the same cookbook recently at a thrift store for $2!
The cover and cover pages were not in great shape, but the inside pages were very good. Of course I bought it!
The White House Cookbook is an interesting glimpse into a housewife's many duties 100 years ago. There are lots of simple recipes, health tonics, toiletries, and tips on housekeeping.
