Some good Vintage Cookbook scores recently!

As many of you know, I LOVE vintage cookbooks. Unfortunately, when we closed my mother’s house last year, her cookbooks were among the things that were not kept.

On the upside, her pink 3×5 recipe card box was saved and I brought it back home with me after the Holidays! ;-) I remember this box from my childhood and I am thrilled to have it. There are some great recipes, both from friends and family and some saved from magazines and other commercial sources.

There are several pie recipes that don’t use a traditional crust. I plan to add these to ILoveToBakePies.com later this month.

She also had the recipe for Chocolate Chipmunk Cake that she got from a nice lady while standing in line at the supermarket, and I will be sharing it also.

On Sunday, we spent some time at the local flea market and I got a copy of *The Art of French Cooking*. This is the revised edition from 1962! I also scored a copy of *A Piece of Cake* by Susan G. Purdy. It not only has a lot of yummy recipes, it has a LOT of *Fun Facts to Know and Tell*. It is sitting beside my bed for when I have breathing room later this month!
