Good Eats

I share with you now, one of my favorite thrift store discoveries, Mrs. Fryer's Cookbook, published in 1926.

It's jacket is held together by layers of tape, but filled with some of the tastiest, and let's not forget fattening, recipes to be had. No, you won't find some of these delicious gems in the pages of the latest Food Network publication, this is the way your grandma and her mama used to cook. How can you go wrong?


What's truly special about this old tome are the scores of additional hand-written recipes, clippings and newspaper articles which have turned a light ocher, including this publication from 1934 titled, "Favorite Recipes". Its attention to Depression Era conservation is especially noteworthy.
