Title: Historical Cookbooks.
Post by: nola276 on December 30, 2011, 11:47:12 pm

I was doing a bit on net surfing today and came across this site.  It is full of historical cookbooks, some dating back to 1400 and a lot dating back to the 1800's.  It's all free for anyone to view.  I haven't had time to check into most of them yet, but I have bookmarked the page and will pop in from time to time. Here is the link.  http://www.digitalbookindex.com/_search/search010cookingfoodhistoricala.asp (http://www.digitalbookindex.com/_search/search010cookingfoodhistoricala.asp)

Just tried this and it works.  Don't know why the other one won't. :-))

JD, I actually edited the link in my first post, after making sure it worked in the second.

Nola thank you for the link.
The old recipe books are great.

Fresh and simple but good food.

Thankyou Nola. What a great link.
I started reading and the next thing I looked up at the clock and 2 hours had gone by.
