I already owned the 1957 edition of this cookbook:
But this newer one is larger and my granddaughters and I are all enchanted by it. Here's the back:
The book includes wonderful instruction concerning table setting, mealtime manners, etc.:
And here's a sweet depiction of all the utensils a junior cook might use:
And also some good measuring rules for cooks to follow:
Now, here are the gorgeous photos that divide the various recipe categories of the book:
 |
| Special Occasions |
 |
| Breads and Sandwiches |
 |
| Cookies, Cakes and Desserts |
 |
| Meats and Main Dishes |
 |
| Salads and Vegetables |
 | ||||||||||
| Beverages |
Aren't they wonderful? I hope you enjoyed this peek into this vintage treasure!
Wow, what treasures! I am so blessed to have my grandmother's Betty Crocker cookbook. I'll have to look online and see if I can find some of these old cookbooks! Thanks for sharing!

I'm pretty sure we have both of these cute little cookbooks somewhere in our stuff... they are looking very familiar to me. I honestly don't remember using them myself or my daughters using them, but they are in the cookbook collection somewhere.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun cooking with your granddaughters.
Hi ladies!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by to see this fun cookbook!
Kathleen, I have my grandmother's Betty Crocker cookbook too! What's especially fun is that she tucked other recipes, cut from magazines and newspapers, in there too.
Mrs. D, you need to get those cookbooks out before Brandon's next visit. I bet he would love to try out some of those recipes with you!
Have a wonderful day, both of you!
