The way we used to cook.
A huge pdf collection of cookbooks from the turn of the century and a collection of antique cooking tools
from MSU. It includes one from Fanny Farmer,
a book about Chinese and Japanese cooking from 1914,
the Manual for Army Cooks
circa 1896, and E.E. Kellog’s "Science in The Kitchen"
(remember The Road to Wellville
movie?).

Ooh caddis, this is great. Thank you!

Yes. Love the food links and this is a great one. Thanks.

Do you know Mrs Beeton Stateside? She's the British equivalent. Yes, I know, English cooking, but Isabella can't be held responsible for a nation's failings.

Token, I think this deserves not just bananas, but bananas with coconut in rum sauce!

Neat! Also check out A Boke of Gode Cookery which lists recipes from the middle ages.

Excellent!

Ick. Jrun errors. I assume many of these recipes use lard? I mean, that's half the reason why my cooking doesn't hold a flame to grandma's. That and I'm not a very good cook.
