Vintage Recipes - Archiving nostalgic recipes from cookbooks, handwritten notes, advertisements, etc

A community for sharing favorite vintage and nostalgic recipes from years past. The goal of this community is to preserve our favorite dishes and share them with the world so that they don't go extinct just because they're not in the culinary zeitgeist.

Please tag your recipe titles with [RECIPE]. Be sure to include the dish name and it’s creator (person or business) in the title for easier searching. Please include the date the recipe was published, if possible.

Sharing a video? Tag it with [VIDEO].

All requests should be tagged with [REQUEST]. Before you post, make sure someone hasn’t already requested the same recipe!

No recipe blog spam! You can link to a personal blog in the comments, but please include the recipe itself in your post. Any post URLs should point to the actual recipe (website, image host, etc.) and not just serve as an advertisement to drive up clicks for your site.

We here in Vintage Recipes believe that information should be freely available. We learn by observing and analyzing what has come before. We do not believe in secrets, and we do not believe that old methods should be forgotten.

WE Engergies Cookie Books dating back to 1932 all free to download. Each year they put out a new Cookie book full of recipes and the 2023 is not yet available.

That’s really cool, but why does the electric company spend money every year on a cookbook? Do you have any favorite recipes from these?

I guess monopolies spend money on stuff like this as a PR exercise to curry favor with regulators.

I do not as they just recently made them all available last year as far as I know. I am looking through them but I am a sucker for tea balls so those will probably be my first test.
