We are kindred spirits about old cookbooks
🥰🥰
Chelsea, just imagine that Betty's apple sauce cake has probably not been made for over 85 years. Just amazes me. I love it.
God Bless. Joe Scott Muddy Dog Ranch
I'm sure Betty is smiling wherever she is in the universe, seeing her recipes honored and used again. ❤️
I LOVE old cookbooks like that.
Awwww that was so romantic. I love antique cookbooks to no matter what they look like. Oh my gosh the four leaf clover! Yes please take the pictures of some pages and post. Would love it. That is so so cool that paper!!! I love how Dan is so into it very much to. Ok Dan you are rocking that apron. That is true love if I ever have seen it!! oh my gosh love all the heritage recipes. This is so up my ally. LOVE it. It is very emotional. I love how you let the kids be so involved really twists my hearts strings always has. hugs
"It is a sign of good taste to do only as much as we can do well." That is a life-wide lesson if I ever did hear one.
Loving seeing Farmer Dan in the kitchen with you.
I loved the old cookbooks. I too love old things! Thanks for sharing.
so glad you rescued the books. Applause for hubby.
Love

Love when you cook /bake with Martha❤

That corn stick pan!😍
I watch you all the time but don't usually take time to comment! Had to stop my canning prep for a moment to to say just how extra enjoyable today was! I'm quite jealous of these old cookbooks. Such a treasure. Thank you for sharing and reading them for us. Keep up your wonderful videos please. So inspiring!
Hey Chelsea- My sister called and translated your recipe. Starting at the top by the watermark, she thinks it says Mom's Jam. 1 quart strawberries, 1 quart rhubard, 1 1/2 quarts sugar. Cut and peel rhubard into 1/2" pieces. Mix strawberries, rhubarb and sugar. Heat slowly until sugar is dissolved. Boil rapidly until thick and clear. Pour into hot clean glasses and cover with melted paraffin wax. What a treasure you have. Glad you will be sharing your cookbooks and trying some recipes with all of us ! !
It's called Shorthand.....I took that course in college.
I sent the picture to a friend as well. He came up with the strawberries, rhubarb and sugar but could not read the rest.
Chelsea...I was emotional all the way through this fabulous video. Remembering my Mom and Grandma, I just let the memories flood over me. Lovely! ♥
As soon as I saw the note I said, that's shorthand. I'm 74 and learned shorthand in High School.
Tell your sister she did an excellent job transcribing the recipe. I got most of it, but she got it all.
@startipper3767 's sister for the win!
For us humans, our phenomenal sense of smell, is one of the strongest elicitors of memory. Also, music is a very powerful elicitor of memory.
The Arabian script is shorthand that every stenographer/ secretary had to be skilled.
I love how you got emotional over the letter to Betty. You have such a tender ❤️
Love the cookbooks! I'm always looking at thrift stores for them. So much fun having your husband in the video today.🥰
I am forever grateful that I have had the privilege of being a homemaker and I too, LOVE reading about homemaking a hundred years ago.
I love that you guys love historic cookbooks so much. I have several cookbooks that were my great great grandparents. They are treasures.
Chelsea I am so jealous right now. Oh how I wish I had those cookbooks. You have been blessed.
Too Funny! Its shorthand. A skill long forgotten with all our technology. Love that others here were able to translate it for you.
I love the old cook books to. Your husband was so nice and loving together you them.
My mom and I have collected recipe books for life and she passed away recently and I feel the closest to her when I am covered with them in the floor. I feel you and I would LOVE a weekend in the Bunkie with totes full of recipe books. ❤❤❤
What a treasure to find those books. Looking forward to all the cooking videos. Love to see little hands helping in the kitchen too.
I’m from Indiana I found The Art of Cooking and Serving one 1929, also Nyal one 1916 version! Thanks to you,I found these, I absolutely love cooking gardening it’s my life!
Not sure if anyone has commented this yet or not, but that one note in one of the old cookbooks looked like shorthand to me. My Mom used to do it. 🙂🙂
That's what I thought.
Definitely shorthand.
Yes, I agree, I use to know shorthand and will try to re-create it.
Agreed! It is Shorthand....I used Gregg's Shorthand book in school!
Yes it is looks like Gregg shorthand. I actually used Forkner shorthand back in the 80's. There is another type can't remember the name
My mom used her corn stick pans often. It was always fun.
Those cookbooks are priceless.
I love antique cookbooks!
I love those cookbook and shows how certain concepts are the same and others are not.
I love all old things; books (the tattier the better), tools, gadgets clothes, automobiles, houses…I like to use my vintage cooking utensils and wonder who owned it before, what they made, what their lives were like, were they happy. I love old books with handwritten inscriptions in them, and recipes with notes alongside them.
I feel like going out and hunting old recipe books. In fact I most certainly will. I'm an avid collector of anything old. Hugs from Spain 🇪🇸
I’m from Arkansas. If it said old south estate, it probably means the part of Arkansas that is Deep South Arkansas. Lots of farmland there, now days it’s mostly soy beans, rice, and feed corn.
Most of my family is from around Conway, AR and they were considered “Farmers” on all of the census records. I remember going to my Great Grandparents home and now I realize it was 100% a Homestead. They had a large garden, tons of chickens, ducks, and a pond full of fish. They also regularly went deer hunting. My Great Grandma had sewing patterns made on newspaper. I fondly remember trying my hardest to catch the mallard drake. 😂
If you can handle hot and humid summers, all of our lakes help, and weird weather, Arkansas is a beautiful place to live and homestead.
I love old things, and it thrills me to no end. I talked about some new antique cookbooks Dan bought me a lot in this video. If you want to skip to the cooking part, jump to the 10:00 minute mark.
Have a wonderful day, friends!
❤Chelsea
Oh Chelsea!
We picked up our own cornstick pan last year and have yet to use it!
My Aunts name was Martha. ❤️
It's nice to see the hubby in this one. You guys get along so dandy.
So much fun!
Chelsea, I loved this video. I also enjoy the stories and messages that have come down through the years to us from our ancestors. Maybe you could do a "Blast from the Past" video every once in a while to share more recipes and info from your books. Super entertaining and informative today. Thank you 🙂🙂
I think its shorthand (writing) like what a secretary uses to take notes for typing (Ireland)
I love the stories too. I would definitely like to see any of those books you are willing to share on your website.
@@fullofhope2222 Yes that is what I thought as well when I saw it. Looks like shorthand to me.
I am a 73YO man and grew up mostly in West Texas. My mom was a Old South Southern cook - lots of lard/crisco shoertning and sugar in most things cooked and of course butter.
Northern cooking almost never has sugar added as with cornbread.
Tip - to avoid soaking your cast iron - while cast iron is still very hot - once food is removed - use HOT water as hot as you can get it from the tap and put the hot water into the cast iron and the food particles will come off and wipe pan out then set on stove to dry and season/oil your pan - for your corn stick pan with all the nooks and crevices - this method will save you time and work. Always - hot water to hot cast iron never cold to hot. Just a little bit to pass on since you are into wood stove and cast iron cooking. You are a nice couple and it is a pleasure watching the both of you in the kitchen working together.
When my parents were first married my great grandmother gave them an old cookbook for a wood stove. They didn’t know it was for a wood stove though and followed the recipe that said leave on the back burner overnight only it was on an electric stove. My parents woke up to a kitchen full of smoke the night before hosting their first thanksgiving. Thankfully everyone and the house was fine and 30 years later just a funny story they share every thanksgiving.
Reminds me of co-worker I had years ago. She said her parents talked about the years during the depression of the thirties; her father's family was very poor and had some very difficult times, he remembered going to bed hungry many times. Her mother said her family also had a very hard time during the depression, they had to let all the servants go but two.
Listening to you read above the servants is like watching a time period movie
I love your passion for the cook books, and I know they will be cherished for many years. When you were reading them it sounded like poetry. Good job Dan!
My MIL gave me her cookbooks and her moms cookbooks. They have handwritten notes and clippings in them. I adore them. Your cookbooks are divine.
Love the old cook books. I have a book on jam making and preserving passed down from my Great, Great Grandmother. It barely holds together now but it is priceless to me.
Such cool finds are these old cookbooks. I absolutely love finding them & buying them to add to my cookbook collection. Love anything vintage.
Chelsea, congrats on your anniversary. It was so cute to watch and listen to you be so excited about your presents-brought me joy. You are also very lucky that Dan was able to find these for you. He’s a jewel and especially so that he shared your joy in these finds and by doing so increased your joy. Love from Texas.
I love love love old cookbooks and when there is writing in them it is even better. I cherish handwritten recipe cards I have from family and friends. My favorite memory of a handwritten recipe was in a neighborhood collaboration cookbook that my great aunt had gotten from my great grandmother from their predominantly Swedish neighborhood. It was for homemade sausage and started with "Butcher your hog". I can't remember the rest of the recipe, it was very general and "to taste". Since then, I have made sure to include actual amounts on my own handwritten recipe cards, rather than "a package" or "a can" because those have changed over the years. Old cookbooks are my favorite books of all. Thanks for sharing yours, I was over the moon when you showed the four leaf clover.
Oh my how precious are those cook books wonderful gift
Love old cookbooks
I Love the old cookbooks. I have one of my Mom’s it is called “ Woman’s Home Companion Cook Book” from 1950. I cherish it, because it belong to my mom.
I have cookbooks like that from my mom and grandma. I was born in 1950. The one recipe is written in shorthand. But its been years since I was taught that in school. More years than you are old lol❤❤❤😂
This video was epic 🥰 I love the cookbooks and hearing the history ❤
Chelsea you would of loved my great grandmothers home, she was born in the beginning of 1899 and lived until the summer of 2001. There by she lived in three centuries and kept absolutely everything. Going through two world wars and the great depression. Her home was given to my grandfather and when he passed away we went through everything in the home. There were newspapers from the 1920's, old serving ware, the most unique little kitchen gadgets, just everything you could possibly imagine. Oddly my favorite item that I kept is an old glass coffee jar still in perfect condition, it currently stores all my tea. Really enjoyed this video and thank you for sharing :)
I should also add she was an avid canner such as yourself and we enjoyed peaches she had canned for 3 years after her passing.
Wow! A man in the kitchen! You’re so lucky!
I live in an Amish community, and I love going to the thrift stores to find the old Amish and Mennonite cookbooks.
I love the history of the personal cookbooks. I have my mother and grandmothers books with all the loose added hand written recipes and notes tucked in. It is the thread of love that connects us through cooking.
Thank you sharing your passion for old cook books 📚
It was a true pleasure to see the joy on your face.
It was a Fabulous video!
I love your cook books, i love the old ones too.
My family loves sausage gravy and biscuits! Yum, Yum, Yummy!
Chelsea, I just love your channel! Wanted to let you know that the "letter" is actually Gregg Shorthand. I learned it as a young secretarial student, but never used it. It had already been replaced by Dictaphones, which then were replaced by Dragon Dictate, and now most people just do their own typing on their own computer. (Wonder what secretaries do these days?) Hmm, I'm only 60 but I suddenly feel ANCIENT! ☺️
Love, love, love your "new" cookbooks! Thanks for sharing!
My grandmothers each had pans like that. They were good and crispy. But it became easier to feed a crowd with a big skillet of cornbread.
You guys are very precious, thanks for sharing your family and your home with us.
Our pleasure!
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. I'm now 65 yrs old and my first experience with cooking was with my German Great Grandmother. I was kneeling at the sink on one of those bright yellow metal foot/seating stools. She had a small window that looked out her side yard. I could see my Great Grandpa cutting the grass while I was peeling with one of the old-school push mowers. He even went as far as trimming the sides of the sidewalk with a very sharp pair of scissors. She taught me how to peel potatoes with a teaspoon at the age of 3. I did get one of her authentic german cookbooks but there is no way I can read it as it is all in German. Thank you for this video. My favorite cooking is old school. I have a Better Crocker cookbook from some time in the 30's I found at an old antique store warehouse in downtown Indianapolis. I'm a lover of older cookbooks when the ingredients were affordable and available. You brought back so many of my great childhood memories.
You could photograph one recipe after another - I will translate it for you. Or tell me the name and author and year, maybe I‘ll find it at faksimilie in Germany. Many greetings from Bavaria
I would be eager to assist! Greetings from Munich
Please do more of these types of videos!!!❤️
Oh the memories!!!
Those cookbooks are a treasure. I too love how they expressed themselves in writing. I am afraid we have lost that wonderful ability.
My grandmother always used the cornbread stick cast iron pan. The trick is to preheat it in your oven with a little oil in it.... the hotter the pan the better. Then you put your batter in and bake it. Yours looks like it could have baked a little longer to get a better golden brown color and crispier. I inherited her cornbread stick pan. Your video makes me want to use it. I haven't used it in years. Her favorite way to eat the cornbread sticks was in a glass of milk. The sticks fit in perfectly.😃
Well, my 4 year old, who is feeling unwell, has stated that he would 'soooo like to taste that cake'
So I'm gonna bake one.
I love vintage cookbooks. Simple food that's often quite frugal.
I would also add a hotdog to the corn-stick pan... corndog, possibly?? I' so hungry! LOL
So cool! Love antiques! Great job Chelsea, I see that Dan is happier to do the research rather than cooking 😁! Have a blessed week 💗
Antique cookbooks….loooove it ☺
Chelsea, my daughter just inherited her great grandparents 110 year old, 3500 sq ft, 2 story farmhouse. We have found newspaper clippings, farm receipts back to 1899. Just crazy!
This is the recipe translation. It is in Gregg Shorthand, which I learned in high school in 1966.
MARMALADE
1 quart strawberries
1 quart rhubarb
1 1/2 quart sugar
Cut all berries and rhubarb to 1/2 inch pieces. Mix strawberries, rhubarb with sugar. Heat slowly until sauce is bubbling and berries. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (the next few words are not known ).Put into hot green glass and cover with melted wax.
That’s incredible!! Thank you so much. Now I have to make it!
Knew if I read enough comments, I'd find someone that could do better than me :) Thanks!
The note that you are thinking is Arabic is actually Gregg Shorthand. My mother wrote notes like that often. She was a trained as a secretary in the late 30's. They would use it to take dictation.
It looks to me like shorthand, graduated in the 60s and we learned this art form for secretarial work.
I absolutely loved this video. I love all things old. We can learn so many things from the women of the past. I am thrilled to be in this community of like minded souls.
You make my heart smile, all the love you show for those old cookbooks. You have brought so much happiness into my life, I love they make you so happy. Thank you for sharing so much love and happiness with me (all of us) you make me feel like your best friend. Hope I am not overstepping.❤️😊😊
Well done Dan, you rocked the cooks assistant no problem, look at you go.
😉💋❣️
I am fortunate to have in my possession family recipes from both mine and my husband's family. His aunt cooked on a wood stove her entire life. I was fortunate to receive her notebook of recipes. I was unfortunate to eat the food she prepared as Auntie was not a very good cook! But it was prepared with Love. I've also collected cookbooks from all over the US. I now live in the Deep South and have gathered some very old cookbooks. Here they call old recipes, "Receipts". My suggestion for all those loose treasures is frame them, and hang in your kitchen!
I too have hand written recipes from several generations back on both sides. I’m 65, and wanted something unique to pass on to my kids….so I had the hand written recipes put on a tea towel for them. They turned out amazing…..and my adult kids just absolutely love them ❤. (Just google it and several companies come up)
If you have left over corn bread it is wonderful in a savoury bread pudding…the best use ever for Christmas leftovers.
Hey Chelsea, I so enjoyed the segment. I too get emotional over old recipes. I think it’s our connection to the past., we all eat. I have a wonderful photo of my great grandmother standing out on the Prairie with several of her children, holding my grandmother on her hip and the chuckwagon in view, my great grandmother had 14 children. During hunting season she would go with my great grandfathers hunting party. To collect game for the winter when I have a tough Times, I think of how strong she had to be to get through all of this to be out on the Prairie with young children cooking for a bunch of guys sadly I don’t have any recipes from her, but I do have a few cast iron fry pans and a Dutch oven and her KJ Bible. You referred to your Pennsylvania Dutch cookbook as an antique. I was nine years old when it printed, yes, I’m old, but not an antique, lol
What treasures those books are. Reading those notes and letters feels like such an intimate look into "Betty" or someone else's life. Thanks for sharing them.
You know, watching you bring the cake back in from the porch made me think of a project you and Dan could do that would be very useful, and in keeping with your old-timey living style. You need to make yourself a pie safe for your porch :)
So cool! I love this kind of thing. Somethinf special about seeing a persons own handwriting too!
I am with you! My treasure is a "New Butterick Cookbook" published in 1924 that I paid 10cents for at a thrift store. The inscription inside says "A Merry Christmas to my friend Frances. From Alice M. Moorman, 1924". I absolutely adore this cookbook. The binding is tearing, and the pages are yellow and stained. Such history.
Definitely shorthand…which I still remember very well.
Yes, that is shorthand. My mother took a secretarial course in the 1950’s & I remember the shorthand she had to learn.
Have you been able to catch 1923 with Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford? The kitchens are amazing. Everything on set is authentic. It is set during the age of electrification.
I love the old cookbooks I bought a box of old cookbooks at a auction and found a journal of the person that had the cookbooks Loved reading her daily life ❤
oh yes, I have used these pans many times to make cornbread. I still have the pan that was my mothers, so it is about 75 years old. Keep working on your cornbread, and you will perfect it. i get my oil hot and pour the hot oil in my batter. Good luck to you and you are an old soul like I am. I love watching your videos.
I too collect cook books, the older the better.
Hey Chelsea, thank you for sharing with us those wonderful cook books. Like you it make me emotional to think of my Grandmother and her kitchen/cooking. She was born in 1904 so could of easily made things like the one's you talked about.
Love that you shared these books…I have a couple of cookbooks that are written in composition books by my great grandma and great aunt…amazing how they wrote! They would save and add clippings from newspapers and magazines…which are from early 1900’s and are so fascinating…so glad you found these and are sharing with us!
Loved the content and Dan helping, apron and all. The cook book history was very interesting. I share your joy with the past.
Such a treasure those cookbooks are. Enjoyed you reading.
That one that was 1919 was the year my mama was born in September 9th 1919.she died 3 years ago. That's so cool.We have the cornbread pan. Yes you have to have it hot every time!
My mother made bread pudding all the time being raised on a dairy farm me had alot of Mike and eggs and homemade bread. We milked 75 head on average yes 2x a day 7 days a week. My father loved bread pudding.
What a treasure to receive! I love old cook books! I can't wait to see what else you make. It was fun to see you and Dan work together. My hubby loves to help me in the kitchen during canning season which is a huge blessing.
I love going to second hand bookstores and finding old cookbooks. I haven't found ones that old, but, I love fundraiser books from churches and schools. They always have simple, basic recipes
I LOVE things from the past, especially hand written ones. Because my ancestors owned the local store, I have hand written ledgers listing who bought what, how much it cost and when they will pay(usually after harvest time) It also lists births, deaths, weddings, etc….of all the farmers who lived in the county and came shopping once or twice a year in town. It was always “social time” where people got caught up on what has been happening on each homestead. Going to town was quite the event way back then…..
These journals date back to the mid to late 1800’s .
I also have the land grant that was issued to my ancestor for fighting in the war of 1812. He didn’t claim it, but his son did….and the farm is still in our family today. .
I have boxes of hand written journals, ledgers, letters, and tons of legal documents….all from my family since the 1600’s….(dating back to John proctor of Salem) I just love old things…and their history…
That’s all so awesome! Lucky you!
This was awesome. I will be keeping my eye out for old cookbooks now.
Chelsea, instead of using lard to grease your cornpone pan, try using bacon grease. That's what my family in the South would have used, it adds a lot of flavor to the cornbread. Also, we have a tradition in our family to give the new brides a Good Housekeeping cookbook. I have my mother's cookbook from 1944, the cover is all torn up but it is still my old faithful cookbook that I learned to cook from. I love the old cookbooks too!
I love that you love antiques. I am also a freak for old things that have a history, that have stories. My housse is filled with heavy old furniture that is way to big for my tiny house, but I couldn't part with them. As for the apple cake, my grandmother used to make them and also fresh apple cale. which was my all-time favorite. She also used to make blackberry cobbler, which she said she learned to make from an old Indian woman when she and my grandpa lived "on the lease" in Oklahoma. That was in the early 1920s. Grandpa worked as a rigger on oil wells and "the lease" was a portion of land that the oil companies rented from the Kaw Indians who were allotted the land by the federal government. BTW, my grandmother made the best fried chicken I have ever eaten and she used Crisco!
I agree. Shorthand, Gregg is the one I learned in high school many years ago (1965).
I have 3 breadstick pans, 2 cast iron and 1 glass. Used them quite a lot over the years. If well oiled it should not be a problem. I also have my mother 's cookbook she received when she was 13 years old. My grandmother wrote some recipes in it as well as my mother. It is a treasure to have.
Believe your note is shorthand. Envy you your woodstove! Lucky you!
