lynneamch Oh yes! This is the one I have, too. Will have to get it out for the grandkids. 7yr-old grandson had his first cooking class last week. They made Glazed Salmon with rice. Sounds better to me than the old Porcupine Meatballs with made with tomato soup. 😉 5y

mrp27 @lynneamch That's awesome! I love the idea of getting the kids in the kitchen early. This was actually my moms book from childhood that she gave me, that's why it's a favorite. 5y

This was my very first cookbook my mom bought me when I was little. It‘s always been my favorite because of that but also has my favorite apple crisp recipe that I still use.

AshleyHoss820 I did not realize I would come to Litsy today to be hit so hard by nostalgia! We had this too, but I completely forgot about it until I saw your post!! THANK YOU!!! 😊❤️ 6y

Chasing_Pages @AshleyHoss820 I‘m so glad I could help you remember something I hope are fond memories like mine. It‘s pretty impressive that I still have it and it‘s held up well through the years. 6y

AshleyHoss820 @Chasing_Pages They are definitely fond memories, so I really appreciate it! Your copy IS in excellent condition!! That‘s absolutely impressive! 😄😄😄 6y

I've been MIA for a while now for a lot of reasons, but I thought I'd share today's book haul. The Betty Crocker was my first cookbook. I'm indulging in some nostalgia.

And thanks to Nick Offerman's Gumption, and The Botany of Desire, I'm on a Michael Pollan kick.

@Hobbinol asked to see some recipes from this cookbook. Here's an idea for your next dinner party ... "It's better than a real candle, because you can eat it". ?

KVanRead Oh my...😳 8y

KCorter It's real?! I totally thought May made that up in

The Secret Life of Bees

Moray_Reads They're not a recipe, it's a banana, a pineapple ring and a cherry! And judging by how it looks it should really be in

Nanny Ogg's Cookbook

Hobbinol 😂😂😂What no melon balls?! I make my banana candles with melon balls... 8y

vivastory 😂 😂 8y

JSW This is .... borderline risqué. ?? 8y

Cinfhen That illustration 🙀🙀😹😹 8y

Zelma I'm pretty sure this "recipe" includes whipped cream in the famed cookbook Be Bold With Bananas. 8y

BookishBeth Is there a recipe for pear mice in there? 8y

lynneamch This is hilarious! Not so amusing is the p.91 suggestion for makiing "Old Black Joe" by putting "Prune on Wheaties, bits of apple for eyes, mouth, ears . . ." Yikes! 8y

lynneamch Yours might be a different version. My cover looks like the tagged one. 8y

respekt1111 Oh dear😂 8y

LeahBergen @KCorter Is this made in that novel?! I haven't read it. 8y

LeahBergen @Moray_Reads 😂 That Nanny Ogg looks good (I haven't read any Pratchett ). 8y

LeahBergen @Hobbinol I just KNEW you'd class up the presentation a bit before serving. 😂 8y

LeahBergen @Zelma Oh my! 😂 8y

LeahBergen @BookishBeth I just checked and it's called "Bunny Salad" (half a pear made to look like a rabbit with little blanched almonds for ears). 8y

KCorter @LeahBergen It is! My book club had way too much fun making lewd comments in our discussion afterwards. I blame the all the wine involved. 😅 8y

kylienoele I have this cookbook!! I remember looking at all the pictures 😂 8y

LeahBergen @lynneamch Same page number in mine but he is called "Old Hobo Joe". ? Right next to him is one called "Fatso". Is that one in your edition? 8y

LeahBergen @KCorter I'm surprised no one made it for your meeting! 😂 8y

LeahBergen @kylienoele It's hilarious! 😄 8y

LibrarianRyan Hummmmmmm. 👍🏻🤓😂 8y

KCorter @leahbergen That definitely came up during the discussion. 😉 Though we did make a chocolate pie (minus the secret ingredient) for the discussion of

The Help

LeahBergen @KCorter Awesome! 😂 8y

DebinHawaii I have this book too-so many memories... (nightmares?) 😱😱😱 8y

lynneamch Oh my, yes. Any idea what "Little Man Who Wasn't There" represents? Looks like a sombrero. 8y

BookishBeth I must have had that book when I was a child. My sister and I made my parents dinner for their 13th anniversary. 8y

Hooked_on_books Oh dear 😂 8y

batsy Hahaha! Love an edible candle. 8y

merelybookish You can see where Amy Sedaris got her inspiration for her cooking/entertainment book. 8y

Here's a kid's cookbook even older than those posted by rachelm and susanw
Given to me in the 1950s and now falling apart.
Some books you just have to keep forever. #cookbooklove

Jinjer Ohhhhh I love that! 7y

This book got lots of use on Saturday night sleepovers. See kids, before computers and video games, we cooked a batch of cookies or brownies with friends, then we ate them!! #cookbooklove #photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading

This book has been splashed and splattered for too many years. My Fun Friday copy is tattered and torn but much loved

SusanInTiburon I love this book too!! (Look at that: 1/2 tsp basil ... 😆) 8y

bookishkai I learned to cook using a yard sale copy of this that my mom got when I was maybe seven? My dad helped with my first endeavor, when he was sure that 1 clove of garlic meant the entire head of garlic. I was seven, what did I know from garlic cloves. 8y

Dragon Thanks @SusanInTiburon and @bookishkris so many childhood memories revolve around cooking and cookbooks 💜 8y

#FunFridayPhoto. I earned my Girl Scout cooking badge with recipes out of my beloved 1960s Betty Crocker children's cookbook. Bunny Salad wasn't half bad! (But the less said about the too-suggestive "Rocket Salad," the better.)

Liberty

BarbaraTheBibliophage I remember "Bunny Salad!" 8y

Hugoreads I had this book too and I thought the Bunny Salad was so fancy! 8y

Dragon I have this book and I still make the spaghetti recipe💜 8y

#FunPhotoFriday I loved to death my 1960s edition of Betty Crocker's children's cookbook. I had this very cake for my 10th birthday. I cried with joy.

Liberty

SharonGoforth Yes!!! We had that cookbook, too! 8y

LitHousewife You should have cried. That cake is fantastic. I bet your mom was proud. 😊 8y

Britafish Amazing. This looks like a My Little Pony castle. 8y
