I have an old (which I used to think was old, but it is NOT over 200 years old!) cookbook that my mother always used. The Settlement Cookbook. it is so simple and straight foreward. I love using it. It's from the 1940's. It too has my stained pages (from splatters) but that only shows it has been loved and used, right? Thanks for sharing your history of baking. You have inspired me to bake something for Sunday dinner today!

It really is too bad that the bakery is no longer in the family, and that your own skills aren't contributing to its legacy. Your vintage book collection is a treasure, I'm sure.

No wonder your baking is so good. Thank you for showing us some of your vintage treasured books. I am amazed! The books of old are works of art in their own rights, without the often contrived photographic illustrations of today. I love reading old recipes! The wording can throw you for a start. <br />I would love to own some of the books that once floated around in my family, but, alas, they somehow disappeared. Still, I do have a few treasured pages written by my Grandmother but that is all. Gosh, I am in awe, truly, of your baking ancestry and book collection!Deborah @A Garden in The Shirehttp://a-garden-intheshire.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
