Grandma's Little Black Book of Recipes - From 1910 by Les Dale Pdf

This little black book was discovered in an attic in 2015. The typed recipes and instructions are a direct translation of the handwriting seen in the photographs on each page. To preserve its authenticity, no extra instructions have been added. The cover is a photograph of the actual book (with title added.)Bring your tablet into the rural English kitchen of 1910. Relive the tastes and smells of an age where there were no microwave ovens or digital scales. Back then, cooking was done on a Yorkshire Range.The book was compiled before the First World War when young women visited each other's houses swapping recipes, as well as catching up on the latest gossip. Funny little markings on some of the recipes, ( a cross "X" with a dot between each line ) was a star rating, four dots being the best.The recipes included instructions like "place the chocolate and sugar into a bowl and warm by the fire, stirring until melted" ( you will probably pop them into a microwave for a few seconds )The hand written recipes contain simple ingredients available at that time. Self raising flour was not in common use, baking powder was used with plain flour.UK measurements are used; oz, lbs. and pints. Gills and quarts are given as mL and fluid ozs. Also terms like "bake in a quick oven" are used, a handy guide to all modern settings is given on the "Conversions" page.This is not a book for the complete novice. You won't find any "preheat the oven to 200° " instructions. Their skills were not only in baking, but also maintaining the oven at a constant temperature, remember the heat came from the coal and wood, no thermostatic controls or glass fronted oven in doors existed back then.However, if you can bake scones and know by looking at things when they are "done," you will enjoy experimenting as they did, adapting the recipes to your own taste.Above all......enjoy the taste of yesteryear !!

More of Grandma's Little Black Book of Recipes by Les Dale Pdf

I discovered many of Grandma's recipe books in a shoe box while rummaging around in my attic in 2015, where they had remained untouched for over over 35 years. When I showed one to my daughter, who is a keen baker and has many recipe books, she immediately took out her phone and took a photo of the recipe for Chocolate Tartlets. On her next visit she came with a tin containing the results, they were delicious. She asked to see the book again and took another photo of Drop Scones, it turned out they were easy to make. The seed was set to for me to try and publish some of Grandma's recipes. I decided to photograph each recipe individually, then type the ingredients and instructions. The first "Grandma's Little Black Book of Recipes from 1910" was published later that year. During the pandemic of 2020, I found myself being confined to the house, I decided to put my time to good use and revisit the shoe box containing Grandma's little black books of recipes and notes. "More of Grandma's Little Black Book of Recipes from 1905 to 1927" was created. Relive the tastes and smells of an age where there were no microwave ovens or digital scales. Back then, cooking was done on a Yorkshire Range. The books were compiled by young women who visited each other's houses, and loved swapping favourite recipes, as well as catching up on the latest gossip. Therefore, you will see handwriting here other than Grandma's. Their recipes used simple ingredients that were available at the time, including isinglass, suet and gelatine. This is not a book for the complete novice. You won't find any "preheat the oven to 200°C" instructions. Grandma's skills would not only have been in baking, but also maintaining the oven at a constant temperature. Remember the heat came from the coal and wood, no thermostatic controls or glass fronted doors in ovens existed back then. Grandma would feel the oven door knob to gauge the heat of the oven. However if you can make scones and know by looking at things when they are "done", you will enjoy experimenting as they did, adapting the recipes to your own taste. Since Grandma knew how to bake, she didn't include step-by-step instructions in each recipe, because she knew what to do, so no repetitive instructions were noted. The recipes included instructions like "place into a bowl and warm by the fire, stirring until melted", now you will probably pop them into a microwave for a few seconds. Self raising flour was not in common use, baking powder was used with plain flour, although some later recipes in this book contain self raising flour. UK measurements are used, oz, lbs, pints, gills and quarts, also terms like "bake in a quick oven". I have included comprehensive conversion pages to help anyone experimenting with these recipes with modern day equipment. UK measuring cups and spoon sets are readily available online. The typed recipes and instructions are a direct translation of the handwriting seen in the photographs on each page. No extra instructions have been added to preserve its authenticity. Spelling has been copied as written, for example, 'candid peel" and "castor sugar". The cover is a photo of the original book with titles added. Another look of what our ancestors ate, above all... enjoy the taste of yesteryear!

100 Year Old Recipes by Robert W. Surridge,Robert W Surridge D Ed Pdf

One of the neighborhood grandmothers used to tell my mother: “If Bobby wants to eat chocolate cake for breakfast...let him eat the cake...it has all the things that are good for him...eggs, flour, butter, milk, and chocolate!” Not exactly the advice of today, however the ladies of the Kingston Presbyterian Church must have agreed because over half of the 425 recipes in this cookbook are for desserts. Loaded with historic recipes, this cookbook is guaranteed to return you once again to your grandma's kitchen.To be sure that you get the same results that grandma did you will need to use period ingredients: real butter, cream, and so on, when using these recipes. Otherwise, they will not taste the same and some may not work at all. Old recipes were designed for use with unbleached flour and often will not work with bleached flour because of additives and bleaching agents that cause the flour to act differently. The recipes also may not work properly when you substitute modern ingredients for the use of lard in cooking. Old recipes also used different units of measurement than we do today. Standardized measurements did not appear until 1896. Where teaspoons or tablespoons are mentioned they are the spoons people ate or served with, a cup meant a teacup and a glass or tumbler was a small water glass. Readers are forewarned of other challenges to preparing these recipes. For instance, often the recipes are simply a list of ingredients without instructions. Cooking times and temperatures are a more modern invention and a recipe like the one for Beaf Loaf tells us to “Bake an hour and a quarter” but is silent as to the oven temperature. On the other hand, the recipe for Oyster Pie says to “bake in a quick oven” without mention to how long to bake the pie. Or, for that matter what a “quick oven” means. Other instructions like “cook until done” or “milk to make a batter” may also challenge readers aspiring to cook like their grandmother and/or great grandmother. Quite a challenge, but I am sure your grandmother will be there with you helping you recreate history!

American Cookery by Amelia Simmons Pdf

This eighteenth century kitchen reference is the first cookbook published in the U.S. with recipes using local ingredients for American cooks. Named by the Library of Congress as one of the eighty-eight “Books That Shaped America,” American Cookery was the first cookbook by an American author published in the United States. Until its publication, cookbooks used by American colonists were British. As author Amelia Simmons states, the recipes here were “adapted to this country,” reflecting the fact that American cooks had learned to prepare meals using ingredients found in North America. This cookbook reveals the rich variety of food colonial Americans used, their tastes, cooking and eating habits, and even their rich, down-to-earth language. Bringing together English cooking methods with truly American products, American Cookery contains the first known printed recipes substituting American maize for English oats; the recipe for Johnny Cake is the first printed version using cornmeal; and there is also the first known recipe for turkey. Another innovation was Simmons’s use of pearlash—a staple in colonial households as a leavening agent in dough, which eventually led to the development of modern baking powders. A culinary classic, American Cookery is a landmark in the history of American cooking. “Thus, twenty years after the political upheaval of the American Revolution of 1776, a second revolution—a culinary revolution—occurred with the publication of a cookbook by an American for Americans.” —Jan Longone, curator of American Culinary History, University of Michigan This facsimile edition of Amelia Simmons's American Cookery was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts, founded in 1812.

Historic Chicago Bakeries by Jennifer Billock Pdf

As immigrants came from outside the United States and settled in pockets around Chicago, each neighborhood had its own bakery--and sometimes several. At one time, more than seven thousand bakeries dotted the city streets. Stalwarts like Dinkel's, Roeser's, Weber's, Pticek and Ferrara continue a legacy that shaped Chicago's food traditions: an atomic cake for family celebrations, bacon buns in the morning or a poppy seed bun for hot dogs and pączki and zeppole for holidays. Even the never-ending debate over seeded or unseeded rye. From pioneering bakers to today's cake makers, author Jennifer Billock puts the sweet and doughy history of Chicago on display.
