It’s no secret that I love cookbooks - antique and vintage
cookbooks in particular. The older the
book and the more handwritten recipes on the inside cover the better! I’ve amassed quite a collection of cookbooks,
both old and new over the years, so shelf space (and husband) now require that
I use a little more discretion when purchasing yet another.
The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook caught my eye at the
bookstore the other day. Based on the
title, I immediately assumed it contained recipes passed down through families
from one generation to the next, and I was delighted when I realized that it
was! Grandma Hannah’s Blueberry
Buckle? Yes please! The Ginger Squares Grandma Hannah learned to
make from her grandma? Major score! I have to say this is the next
best thing to finding a vintage cookbook chock full of handwritten recipes at a
resale shop or garage sale!The decision to buy this cookbook was easy. The decision of what recipe to make first though… Not so easy. The aforementioned Blueberry Buckle or the upcoming season appropriate Pumpkin Crunch Bars? Or shall I allow summer one last hurrah and bake Strawberry Cupcakes or Shortcakes?
Decisions, decisions…
