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.

Great quality product

Great quality product. Unfortunately this was a gift to My Father for Christmas, but he died on the 27th unexpectedly. Therefore never got to see it. It will now be passed down to his Grandsons and we will raise a toast to him on Christmas Day. X

Knockout Present

My father still enjoys reading his Boxing News every week. Loves talking about the boxers from the past. None can compare to Ali with front page and back page action. The product is well researched and gives the complete archive story of the man they call The Greatest.

Thoughtful gift that brought tears of appreciation

I was looking for a thoughtful gift for my husband's birthday and this was top notch! Arrived quickly, the newspaper was a good fun to read and my other half was so touch when he received it that he even shed a few tears. I would definitely recommend for any whisky and/or newspaper enthusiast.

Rang up to track my book I had ordered and customer services were very helpful. Bought a leather bound newspaper book for my mother’s 80th birthday and she loved it.
