Vintage Recipe Cookbooks

(7)

Take your taste buds on a trip down memory lane with Vintage Recipe Cookbooks of the decade. Featuring original advice columns, novelty adverts and delicious dishes that made the era recognisable, you’re guaranteed to feel nostalgic with iconic dishes from the 30s all the way to the 90s. It’s the perfect present for any food aficionado, available in softback, personalised with Any Name and Message or gold-embossed on our hardback editions.

Old Cookbooks From Papers Give Unique Insight Into the Past

It’s quite amazing how much insight old cookbooks can give into how society was at a certain point in time. With these vintage cookbooks, you can discover how the American Wall Street Crash and ensuing rise in unemployment affected meal times, or how those back home coped during World War II and the period of rationing that came with it. Later in the 20th century, as immigration became more common, so did cooking foreign dishes, as well as the widespread use of more exotic ingredients. Towards the end of the century, with the class divide being wedged further apart, fridge-freezers and microwaves revolutionised cooking for an entire generation.

This was a birthday present for a friend celebrating his 90th birthday. It arrived in plenty of time in a lovely presentation box which made it even more special. My friend was an archivist for many years and he thought this was a perfect present. One very satisfied 90 year old Birthday Boy and one very pleased gift giver!🙂🙂🙂

A book that will exceed your expectations

I am a historian by profession, so I often worked with periodicals when preparing scientific papers. Reading the newspapers, looking for valuable information always seemed to me something romantic and mysterious. So I really liked the concept of the book - to read information using a historical source.Maybe my opinion will be too subjective, but this is the best book I have ever held in my hands. It exceeded my expectations.

Very pleased,as was the receiver,with the book. It was as expected at a reasonable price. My only criticism was a grammatical error where there was a misplaced apostrophe in the title. However when I emailed this error to the company,there was an immediate response and a statement to say this would be corrected.

10/11 September 1976 UK newspapers related to the 1976 Zagreb mid air collision

The 2 newspapers from 10/11 September 1976 arrived today in Australia about 3 weeks after purchase which is very good considering covid postal delays. For a 45 year old newspaper they were in reasonable condition and readable. I have been researching the 1976 Zagreb mid air collision and the 10th September 1976 newspaper was the one being read by the copilot 7 minutes prior to the collision and this is confirmed by the crossword clues and articles which match the cockpit voice recorder transcripts. I would recommend Historic Newspapers for anyone doing decades old research as its helpful to see what else was going on at that time. The good thing about Newspapers is they have a date stamp (ie snapshot in time)and unlike internet pages they cant be altered to fit the current approved narratives. Good experience - Thank you
