Summary: The Settlement Cookbook
Review: I used this cookbook as a child, when I cooked with my Mother and my Grandmother in the 1950s and 60s. It is a wonderful piece of American History, with recipes for things you might never have thought about. I reccomend this book to anyone who experiences the 'joy of cooking' and has a desire to keep American History alive and a part of the new century. A reprint or an edition from a used bookstore would be a treasured possession for any cook, a valuable gift.

Summary: For old-fashioned ethnic specialties, this is a classic
Review: Noodle kugel, kasha varnishkas, knishes and stuffed cabbage. If you long for cooking as Grandmom used to do, this is a timeless classic on the order of older versions of The Joy of Cooking.

Review: That quaint saying is the keynote of this book from the turn of the century. It is truly the best basic cook book ever produced. From mayonaisse to dressing fresh kill, starting a fire in a stove to making cordials and candies from your berry crop, the quintessential Cook's book will provide you with a culinary education from the days before microwaves and even Barbie's dream kitchen. The food here is not haute cuisine but good honest food that can feed a family wholesome and hearty meals on a budget and teach you how to make it from scratch. It is a must have investment for anyone trying to live on a budget.

If you can get this book -- Buy this book.

...oh yes, they have GREAT cookie recipes too ;)
