I love it when books contain information about where they came from. I enjoy seeing how far a book has traveled, and I noticed that yours originated from my area, San Bernardino :) I have a cookbook that came from a bakery, and I love reading all the notes that the previous owner wrote next to the recipes. It feels like the previous owner is looking over my shoulder when I make the recipes.
I love collecting cookbooks. I have about 500 or more. My laundry room is full of them. All mine are 70s on back. Some of mine are those free ones that came with other products.
The 1950s Betty Crocker always has my 💜. Your collection is awesome. I’ve never heard of some of them. But, I always love a good church cookbook. Tried and true. Of those, my hometown church cookbook is so special. Recipes shared by family and friends. My mom passed her passion of collecting recipes & cookbooks on to both my sister & I. Cherished & treasured. Thank you for sharing 🥰
What fun. Great memories from my days as a new bride in the sixties. Wish I still had those cookbooks! Your vids are just so great. Thanks for sharing😍
Thank you so much Betsy! I have always loved cookbooks since being a small child. My mom had cake decorating books I loved to “read” too! And thanks so much for your kind words-that means a lot to me. Sometimes I get discouraged because there is always that one person who has to say something snarky😢
I love love love cookbooks. While I was in high school, I took Home Ec all four years. I loved to bake. I would stay home on weekends and bake cookies, muffins, brownies, desserts, and homemade bread for my parents. I still have many of the recipes acquired from those Home Ec classes. And of course a LARGE cookbook collection of my own and ones my Mother used back in the 1940’s, 1950’s, and 1960’s. My cookbooks are a treasure I will pass down to my daughter. Thanks for sharing some of your favorites. 🫶
I absolutely love your vintage cookbook collection here I thought this video was uploaded today and I see it's over a year old it's just as good to day as it was last year absolutely loved these kind of videos that you do
Hi Kym, That was a lot of fun seeing all your wonderful cookbooks. I couldn't pick a favorite. My twin sister has our Mom's Betty Crocker cookbook and it was used heavily and is in rough shape, but like yours our Mom wrote notes in it too. I just wanted to tell you that I also graduated in 1979 and will be 62 in May , so we are the same age. 🙂 You never told us about Frankie. I hope he is doing well. He probably didn't like having so many strangers in his house if he's anything like my 3 kitties. Thanks and have a blessed day!
How fun to be a twin Sally Ann! And we are the perfect age😊. So I was fixing the cover on my GreenStalk and one of the feral cats had peed on it. Frankie smelled It on me (yes I washed my hands several times) and hissed and growled at me for an entire day😢. He is fine now lol😻
Good morning Kym! Love this video! I’m a collector of cookbooks as well! Though my vintage collection have mostly been given to me by family members. My dear mother in-law had a 1930’s cookbook that was geared towards the new housewife. She used that cookbook literally everyday. Yes, from the first day she began cooking in her very young years….until her last meal she prepared! I remember that meal vividly, because I was there with her! Sweet memories! Now for my favorite cookbook? Well that would have to be my daddy’s war department Army recipe cookbook! Daddy went to culinary school and when he enlisted in the army during the Korean conflict, he was a cook in a MASH unit. Daddy’s cookbook was from 1946 and has some wonderful recipes in it. I know that’s hard to believe. Considering some of the stuff that we’ve all heard about what they fed the soldiers….. But that cookbook has some great recipes! The only bad thing about it is having to convert the recipes down from serving hundreds to just serving 4 or 6! But my mom did just that (with daddy’s help) when we were growing up! Both my mother in-laws cookbook and daddy’s cookbook have hand written notes on about every page! I will NEVER part with those cookbooks! They will be passed on to my sons. Thanks for doing this video. It really lit a fire under me… to try and find some more vintage cookbooks! Lol! God bless and have a wonderful day! Ps, sorry this comment was so LONG! Lol!
@@thewellnesshomesteader oh believe me…. I have a million stories I could tell! I do like to talk to people. My grampa use to tell me that I was vaccinated with a Victrola needle! Haha!
@@littlehousehappyhome1504 too funny! My dad said my sister was vaccinated with a phonograph needle😂. I know I’m chatty on videos but I’m actually quite shy and quiet lol
@@thewellnesshomesteader haha! Phonograph/victrola. Well the only thing to separate the two would be a generation! My grampa and his brothers were in vaudeville shows. They toured the country entertaining folks with their musical talents. My grampa was a tenor. He had a beautiful voice. I miss him greatly. Sometimes memories are a wonderful thing to have. Thanks for chatting with me. You have a wonderfully blessed evening! 🙏❤️
I love your collection, a few of these books are going on my wish list. And I can't wait for your dieting video coming up! I always enjoy your little history lessons.
Good morning Kym, and Frankie, Wonderful vintage collection I saw a few my mom had I love vintage awesome collection great memories of my childhood all the great things my mom made for us all thank you for sharing :-)
Love learning that I’m not alone. I have been collecting vintage cookbooks for about 25 years. (When vintage cookbooks were plentiful and inexpensive). I have all of the books you just shared except the “Mary” cookbook.
i have a cook book that is dated 1878 the pages are delicate but such a delight to see. I get you for the love of vintage cook books! i don't like todays rush rush everything so simple use this gadget/appliance for fast cooking methods. i like the old ways of cooking slow and patience made from scratch gives the best flavors.
LOVE your collection!! I think the cooking magic and Mary Margaret McBride are the most interesting to me because they're individual mini cookbooks put together!! I wish they still made them that way!!! I don't have a favorite cookbook myself but I cherish the recipe container from my great great grandmother
Wow Kodi from your great great! My grandmas didn’t use any sort of cookbooks and I’d love to have some of my grandma Victoria’s recipes! The Mary McBride cookbooks are fascinating. I realized doing this video I need to share more recipes!
I also love my copy of the Famous Foods cookbook! I did the exact same thing you did and immediately looked for local restaurants. In fact, I have it on my table right now so I could show my mom the Canlis entry. Such a fun book. Great video…I have added a few new books to my BOLO list! 😊
Hi Kym, you've got quite collection there!! I wouldn't like to drop the Mary M M one on me foot lol. I don't know what I would choose as a favourite possibly the Betty Crocker pictorial cooking. I like the Better Homes and Gardens they're quite similar to the Good Housekeeping ones we have, I recently got a 1950s good housekeeping one myself. I think retro dinner parties would be great!! I love to dress and eat vintage 🤩 Lots of love to you Frankie and the girls, glad you got through the storm ok ❤️🐈🐔🥚🐾 Xx
In addition to collecting cookbooks, I also collect books about the history of cooking. I only have 2 old cookbooks. 1963 - Coffee Recipes, Customs, Facts, and Fancies 1954 - Jesse's book of Creole and Deep South Recipes

Love your cookbook collection. I truly dislike reading. However, give me a cookbook and u have my attention.I also have the Better Home Cookbooks. My books are different than your. I think I got mine in the 70'sss. As always ur friend from Ontario. Canada 🇨🇦
So fun you have a collection too Elaine! I’ll have to show the whole stack I have sometime just briefly. I even buy them for my son who is an amazing chef!
I have my grandma’s original Betty Crocker cookbook, stuffed with recipe clippings. The oldest cookbook in my collection is The White House Cookbook, originally published 1987 but I have a copyright 1926.
Great collection Kym! Thanks for sharing. I have some of these. My favorites are collections put together by Churches and organizations. I published one years ago.
There was also another cookbook series by the Culinary Arts Institute called "The Encyclopedia Of Cooking" which was basically almost the entirety of the 1938 cookbook "The American Womans Cookbook". Came in 24 volumes. Don't know if the Cooking Magic series is related but it looks similar.
@@vintagebeliever5023 welcome! I’m so happy to have you as part of my wonderful subscriber group. I notice by your screen name you like vintage items. You might enjoy my “throwback Thursday” play list where I try out vintage gadgets!
I had a couple older cook books but, my ex now has them. I got more cook books now. People eat out more and use prepared food. Not totally from scratch. Different appliances.
