Here is an eclectic mix of both vintage and modern cookbooks (From as early as the 1960's up until 2010! Most are from the 70's to 90's.) From assorted recipes passed down from generations, to themed cookbooks that focus on a specific food type, diet, or technique -- there's a book or several for every level of cooking ability. 
Most are in Good condition, and some of the dust covers needed to be taped due to their age/vintage wear. A couple are still in Like New condition. Many are coil, spiral, or plastic comb bound. All are hardcover. A couple are former library copies -- with accompanying stickers and stamps. The rest are in Good to Like New condition. Please view all photos and read descriptions below for details. MIX N MATCH to save up to 20% off each cookbook when you purchase 2 or more!

    Betty Crocker Biography:

    Since 1921, the Betty Crocker name has symbolized the General Mills continuing tradition of service to consumers. Although Betty was never a real person, her name and identity have become synonymous with helpfulness, trustworthiness and quality.

    Betty Crocker has survived the decades by providing consumers with food information and food products that are contemporary without being faddish. The first hardcover cookbook, Betty Crocker’s Picture Cookbook was published in 1950 and quickly became a national best seller. Since then, more than 250 Betty Crocker cookbooks have been published.

    From a reviewer:
    I had a copy of this book when I was a newlywed in the sixties. The original finally fell apart. The book I received now was in great shape and it was so good to know that it was so easy to find on Amazon.

    Even though it is slightly dated now, there are still recipes that are handy for basic cooking. Of course, there is the sentimental value.

    From a reviewer:
    I now have 12 of the 17 books in the series and I love every one of them. I make bread almost every day and the pictures in this book helped me to understand what they wanted me to do in how to mix and knead the dough. Each recipe is 4 pages and on the last page there are ideas for other things you can make with that same recipe (adding some flavoring or some such). How can I really go wrong when I bake the bread and my boys (4, 7) ask me to make those breads more often?!

    From a reviewer:
    add to a collection of cook books I'm putting together for my daughter's hope chest. Lots of good topping, sauce and crust variations. A good book for "follow the recipe" type cooks, and a great spring board for cooks like me who often-as-not use cook books for tasty ideas and variations then just wing it. Some of the crust recipes offered in this book have become my 'base' standbys though, and some of the combinations would never have occurred to me without this book.

    After several chapters covering the microwave appliance itself, including the science behind how the machine works to cook food, this book goes into several techniques to achieve better results. Recipes begin with beverages and cover a wide variety of recipes for individual courses with the goal of complete meals in mind. Convenience foods are not left out, and even candy making is included!

  • The Best in American Cooking; Recipes Hardcover – January 1, 1970

    Author: Clementine Paddleford
    Condition: In Overall Good condition with a large portion of the dust jacket needed to be taped. Vintage condition, with minor shelf and corner wear. There are a few spots on the edges. 
    Rest of pages/recipes are clean and neat without any flaws or notes, etc., that I can see.

    Here is a veritable gold mine of regional and traditional food which includes hundreds of treasured family recipes gathered from American housewives in 42 states and a few specialties from famous restaurants, governors' mansions and even the dining room of the U.S. Senate. Some dishes were served at formal meals in elegant settings, others were sampled at clambakes, picnics and barbecues. Every type of food is included, from hearty soups to tempting desserts, and because American women have always been particularly proud of their baking skills, there are recipes galore for breads, biscuits and rolls, pies, cakes and cookies. Originally published as "How America Eats", this new edition contains all of the more 800 superb recipes collected by Clementine Paddleford on her energetic travels from Maine to California, Florida to Alaska. As food editor of 'This Week' magazine and the 'New York Herald Tribune she had a large and devoted following, and readers who may have clipped and saved recipes from her columns will rejoice to find the best of them preserved in book form. Every cook will welcome the variety of new and "different" dishes to be found here. All recipes were tested by the Herald Tribune Home Institute prior to their original publication.

    From a reviewer:
    "The Best in American Cooking" is a volume of recipes collected by once famous food writer, Clementine Paddleford. These recipes were first collected for her 1960 book, "How America Eats", which includes her distinctive essays on the people and locations behind the recipes. This volume was published three years after her death in 1967, and presents the recipes without her commentary.

    These recipes are interesting, and tell us a lot about our American food heritage. But for anyone wanting to prepare these dishes, I recommend Kelly Alexander's 2008 biography of Clementine Paddleford, "Hometown Appetites". This book includes more than 50 of the
    recipes, updated for the modern cook. The biography is very interesting and well written, reviving interest in a fascinating journalist
    who'd been all but forgotten.

    "How America Eats" can be a fairly expensive book, and "The Best in American Cooking" is much more affordable. For someone who likes to study old recipes and tinker with them, the latter is a great resource.

    • With Heart & Soul: Among Friends : Recipes Hardcover w/dj SIGNED COPY 1995-Inscribed to "Judy" by one of the contributing authors, Janet. Hardcover in Good to Very Good overall condition with the inside cover having some signs of humidity wrinkling due to our Midwest weather. 

    Since the release of "Just a Matter of Thyme" two years ago, the company of "Among Friends" has been receiving requests each day for the "next book".

    Owners, Shelly Reeves Smith and Roxie Kelley, have encouraged employees, customers and friends of the business to literally take this job into their own hands, and share their very best recipes for this publication. After months of testing (and tasting) by the Among Friends crew, Shelly graced the pages of Heart & Soul with her artful explanation of each simple, but truly-satisfying recipe.
    The addition of the "Heart Smart" section, and helpful household hints scattered throughout make this book a perfect gift for cooks of any age.
    Among Friends invites you to put your "heart and soul" into the pages of this more-than-a-cookbook-book. And then, of course, share it with a friend.
