My husband bought me some antique cookbooks the other day and I am absolutely in love with them. I suspect collecting old cookbooks is going to become a new hobby of mine. I posted a YouTube video in which I shared some information about the books and promised to share more photos of them over here on my website.
I hope you enjoy reading these pages as much as I did!

I suspect you now have a new addiction. I have both my mother’s and grandmother’s old Five Roses Flour cookbooks and I love them, along with other old ones I have collected. I now try to find cookbooks which feature the writer’s own art. I am particularly fond of Susan Branch’s books because I get 2 for 1: her beautiful art and her recipes. Thank you for all the knowledge you share about your rural life. I always enjoy hearing what you’re up to.

My mother-in-law just showed us her Five Roses Flour cookbook and they are filled with family notes and recipes. I can’t wait to go through it!
Not Arabic. Shorthand. I had class in highschool. Hated it! Replaced by dictaphones etc
The handwriting is shorthand. We had class in highschool but I didn’t like it. It was to take dictation for a business letter your boss wanted send to someone. It was later replaced by a dictiphone. A bit before your time. Enjoy your show.
Can I ask where your husband found such lovely books? I a so jealous I love learning about the different cooking methods back in time NDP the foods they ate.
He found them on eBay. Someone was selling them for a friend. I’ve also seen them on Etsy.
You made an award winning sandwich. Can you share that recipe?
The recipe you thought might be in Arabic is actually written in shorthand. My friend is trying to decipher it for you.
