I recently went to small town Idaho with Josh as he was playing music for a weekend conference. There wasn't much to do or explore in this small rural town and the food isn't worth mentioning but I did find a cute little book & coffee shop on their main drag. While there I picked up a 3 beautifully vintage cook books. Even the titles of the cookbooks were enchanting to me:
The Perfect Hostess Cook Book
Lessons in Gourmet Cooking
Look No Further
As many of you already know, I enjoy old things and not only material things but old fashioned ideas and style. From enjoying a long meal, to wearing my grandmothers old boots, there are something that are just worth bringing into the modern times. And these cook book will be a reminder of that as they sit on my kitchen shelf.
how fun! i have a couple of old cookbooks i've found, and i'm thinking of doing a Julie/Julia project with one! it's so fun finding older things :)
ReplyDeletethese look really cool. i can't wait to hear about the hostess one.
ReplyDeleteI love old cookbooks and collect the weirder ones, though I haven't found a good one in a while. Enjoy yours!
ReplyDelete"the perfect hostess cookbook"...love it. interested to see what kind of recipes are in that. :)
ReplyDeleteI adore old cookbooks, too. My mum gave me some of the cookbooks that were sitting on her shelves (and my grandmother's shelves before that) and I love looking through them and reading the commentary. It gives a really nice insight into that time period.
ReplyDeleteI am a cookbook collector and these look so great! Enjoy those recipes... they are all too soon forgotten (sadly)... nothing lasts.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet titles to the books you picked up. I hope they have some treasures hiding inside. I do wish you would have told us where you were in Idaho . . .
