More cookbook hauls! I’m a collector, too, and it’s great to see someone else’s collection. I love the way you cut down recipes to make one or two servings since I’m single home cook.
Props to Meta Given’s gray hardcover Modern Family Cookbook, the “main” cookbook in our kitchen when I was a kid. I’m pretty sure it was a wedding present to my Mom in 1956, though I’m not sure how often she consulted it-or any other cookbook. Probably only during the holidays. I thrifted my own copy a few years ago. A reliable, unfussy resource.
I commented prior to Christmas about going back to baking (I had quit when my granny passed). Since then I have been trying to find some of the books from which she started teaching me (I was around eight). After much research and questioning of some relatives, I found one of them! It was the Best of Home Economics Teachers Bicentennial Cookbook, published in 1975-for the upcoming bicentennial year. See what an inspiration you have turned out to be! Not to mention that you are just a joy to watch. My husband sends his thanks as well, lol. Keep up the good work. It is appreciated....
I so enjoy your channel! Such a pleasant break on a Sunday afternoon! My 93 year old mom passed away two years ago. I have inherited her Meta Givens Encyclopedia. It brings back such memories, I am so glad to have it! I love to collect cookbooks, but have had to pretty much stop, as I am out of room for them!
My husband and I met each other while working at Half Price Books! He has been there for 23 years now. We had a customer there who sold us more than 100 of his mother's cookbooks from her estate, a fabulous collection. I went in on my day off and bought about 30 of them for my collection! Found a fantastic little one called Miss Mary's Down Home Cooking, an old cookbook by the woman who ran the boarding house next door to the Jack Daniels distillery. Every recipe from that little book was fabulous - including her recipe for Jack Daniels based BBQ sauce. She did not allow drinking in her house, and it was the only reference she ever made to whiskey. Look for it! ❤❤
Love your videos! Love old cookbooks! I am a mid-century model, born in '57. Watching you brings me on a journey down memory lane. One of my favourite Pillsbury Bake-Off recipes came from an advertisement in a woman's magazine in the early '80's. Italian Zucchini Crescent Pie. It has become a family favourite. I've been making it for well over 50 years with two small changes: butter instead of margarine and Dijon instead of yellow mustard. I know you're a zucchini fan (I've watched them all!) and this one is well worth checking out. Can't leave a link here- look up Pillsbury Italian Zucchini Crescent Pie. Best brunch/lunch dish.
This is fascinating. I've just googled the Pillsbury bake-off as I've never heard of it. Really interesting. I'd never actually heard the phrase bake-off until about 15 years ago when the Great British Bake Off started on TV. So I now know where that came from!. Hope you all have a great Friday.😊
I live in California now, but I grew up in Indianapolis and I used to love going to Half-Price Books. In fact, I still have most of the books I found in their stores. Since I hadn't heard anything about them out here, I assumed that they didn't have any stores on the west coast. But your video made me so nostalgic that I looked up their website, and lo and behold, they have 5 stores in CA and one of them is only an hour away from me! Next weekend, I'm taking a little road trip and scouring the cookbook section. Thanks for the video and cool finds!
I love vintage cookbooks and have quite a collection. I especially love the ones that were sold as fundraisers that have recipes that folks from the community contributed
I haven’t done a cookbook haul in forever. I’ve been buying newer books - here and there. Nothing vintage in a really long time but I have been trying to cook from some of my older book lately. Videos to come.
Yay!! A mid-week video! I can see why you added one....these cookbooks were quite a find!! Cookbook hauls are one of my favs! Please do more if you can.
Yes to more cookbook hauls! I had to stop buying/collecting cookbooks because of downsizing...so I really enjoy seeing the cookbooks you buy or are given.
The Humpty Dumpty on your children's cookbook was the mascot for Humpty Dumpty magazine, which was also published by Parents'. It was a little half-size magazine for kids with all kinds of fun little puzzles, stories and crafts. I don't think I had a subscription as a kid, but every now and then an issue would float my way. His cute face is definitely a childhood memory. According to Wikipedia, it's still in publication, but Humpty looks different!
Your haul was a thrill to this vintage cookbook collector! Thanks for sharing! I am stunned by the prices in your area. I traveled 4 hrs toMinneapolis/St Paul last weekend to a Half-Prce Books. A Betty Crocker w the double ring spiral binding had a $25 price tag. I paid $10 for a Farm Journal hard back cookbook from the 70s. I enjoy all your videos - you talk abt the cookbooks whether you cook/bake or not. thank you, Anna!!
Cannot wait to see what you come up with out of this cookbook haul! I’m sure it will be fun! I know you will delight us with the ghost cake-some Halloween…🎃😱 A full day, vintage, meal plan would be fun as well!
I love all things vintage and I’m just starting my journey in collecting retro vintage items, clothing, style etc. I’ve never looked for vintage cookbooks but I am on the hunt now!!! I LOVE cooking and baking for my boyfriend and we have breakfast and dinner at the table everyday and I love spending time in the kitchen and making fun recipes for friends and family and your channel has inspired me to start looking for actual cookbooks instead getting all my vintage old fashioned recipes from online! (Obviously will still continue to do that lol) thank you for all your content I am just loving this channel you do such a good job!
Love the cook book hauls! Makes me envious. Ten years ago when I downsized I donated a book case that was full of cookbooks. I do regret that decision.. enjoy your videos especially the full days of cooking.
Wow I learned alot from this video (I didn't know filberts and hazelnuts were the same thing) I just want more of all of the content! I do love cookbook haul reviews.
Love watching you cook. It's one thing to read a recipe it's another to see it made. You do a wonderful job. But I do enjoy a good cook book haul. We have "Little Free Libraries" around town. I recently found a beautiful one. The Pie Book, Louis P. De Gouy. 2018 but originally published in 1949. All I could think was, Anna would love this!
I have a Better Homes and Gardens one from 1934. Mine is well used and getting crumbly pages. This was my grandmother’s. I want to copy the pages so I don’t lose all the recipes. My family also has the Women’s Day cookbook set that is about 15 books. We got them in the 60’s. Thank you for sharing.
I just subscribed to your channel, in part because I had enjoyed your vintage cookbook hauls. And literally less than 24 hours later, you did another one - so fun! I know it's not a regular thing, but I can say as a trained chef and vintage food enthusiast, your channel is an incredible resource for food from years go by. I think you're doing an amazing job!!
I thought about you last weekend while I was antiquing. I found a bookshelf full of vintage cookbooks. If you are ever in the Columbus area near Kenny road, they were at Magpie Market; Kenny Centre Mall
I misplaced my red pie cover 1975 edition of Betty Crockers red cookbook but found it 2 days ago along with my 1983 edition of Southern Living Cooking Light, guide menus & recipes along with my copy of The Best of Sunset magazines recipes 1986, all hardcover editions. I was so happy to have found them. Really enjoy watchìng you, another of my favorite's is The Pillsburys Best of the Bake off Collection. I have more favorite's but this is all for now.
Love the cook book hauls. I just recently found a small paper cook book from a 1949 Food Pageant cooking school presented by my citys local news paper. It was held at the Orpheum Theater in Springfield, Illinois. That theater was unfortunately torn down in 1965 to make room for a bank. So sad. But, this little paper book has 30 pages of recipes plus the covers open out with cooking tips and a section for "men only" on how to care for large pieces of meat like rib roasts, pork loin, and leg of lamb lol. Apparently it was thought that these may be to large for a lady to handle. I paid $3.00 for it.
I hope you do a full day of the Better Homes & Gardens one. I have the 1951 edition of this. There might be small differences, but I’ll bet most is the same. If yours has a recipe for potato doughnuts, I highly recommend to try them. Might be tough for the video, but at least try for yourself.
Hi Anna 👋 I have a haul coming in the mail. I won on auction a collection of tomelife cookbooks. I found one on the collection on Etsy selling for 65. I was thinking king of sharing the haul when I get the collection. I never seen Betty Crocker one that you have. I love the better homes and Garden. Goodness each one you take out I’m like going to say oh I love it lol. The best collection bake off!! Ok like wow fun!! Most times I have you on the tv with our family account so I apologize because when I do I most times don’t comment. You are inspiring Anna. Love you lots. Hope you are enjoying your days and hope you have a lovely weekend. Harrietta isn’t doing too bad bless her. Just wanted to let you know.
Awesome! I get so excited when you feature a book that I have!!! I have several vintage cookbooks, but I started looking around for more after watching you! I was born in 1957, and graduated from high school in 1975. It is so strange when you mention a book being "vintage" from that era. My very first cookbook is Betty Crocker Dinner in a Dish, copy right 1965. I was home alone when a guy came to the door trying to sell me a vacuum cleaner, (this was 1975). He said I'd get a free cookbook just for letting him show me the pitch. I was 17 I think. I still have the book. It's where I learned how to make beef stew~ I still make it the same way! Also, recently I found a small (5 x 7) copy of The Gone With The Wind Cookbook. Have you seen this one? If you are interested I could send the extra copy I just found at a thrift store. I found my other copy at an antique store and paid $15 for it!! Then just the other day I found the exact same for $1 at a thrift store!!! They are both in excellent condition. LOVE your channel!
I had a cookbook collection I decluttered a few years ago. I still have a full shelf, but donated several. I do regret donating a box set from, gosh , I think the 30s. They smelled weird and I just wasn’t reading them. They were SO cute though, different pastel gingham covers. Oh well, someone was probably excited to get them. I recently found a couple newer books and spent $3.50 on them. One is a 2012 Nestle TollHouse year-round recipes and a 2009 worldwide church cookbook, for my church! Anyway, they’ve been fun to go through. The church book includes church people in North America and other continents. 😁
I posted my first comment before the end of the video. I have my mum's 1953 edition of Meta Given's Modern Family Cookbook. It is a hoot!! I am impressed (and a bit jealous) you got a copy with the dust cover intact!!!
I really enjoy your content. These cookbook hauls are awesome. I have hundreds of cookbooks and love seeing someone who enjoys them even more than I do--but, unlike me, actually uses them! I don't collect vintage, so seeing your treasures is really fun for me. Your down-to-earth attitude and presentation style is so refreshing and I also love the halved recipes.
Like number lucky 13!! There is an organization in Winnipeg that hosts a book sale every year. Next time I am going!!! I don't have a car and don't know how I'm going to get there but you have inspired me to try to replace my lost collection. ♥♥
If you've got a shopping trolley, bring it. Books are heavy. As a fellow pedestrian (and bikerider), I get it, and I hope you'll find a way to get there.
I love cookbook hauls! Have you ever seen The First Lady Cookbook? I enjoyed tht one so much, bot only does it give recipes but it showed the china in use during their husband's term in office, plus gave a biography of each First Lady. Some of them had very sad lives. The one my aunt lent me went up to Jimmy Carter so it was pretty old.
I have the Pillsbury cook off book. Made a few things out of it and they were good. Your cookbook haul was a total success. I also have that Meta Givens cookbook. You are so lucky to have found all of those. They look wonderful and the Royal cookbook looks really intriguing about what people ate back then and as royalty. Thanks for sharing and yes any cookbook hauls you make, I would love to hear about.
You have inspired me to seek out some vintage cookbooks! 😊 I would LOVE to check out the Royal family cookbook you found…perfect mix of my fondness for history and food.
Definitely more cookbook hauls! That Royal cookbook fascinates me. Have a feeling the recipes are quite ordinary, except for maybe wild game. Just curious, though.
You actually introduced me to half-price books through watching your videos and I can’t thank you enough! Love these hauls - they are very inspiring and it’s great to also be introduced to “new” old titles. to titles I’ve never come across before!
We don't have those stores in mid Missouri so l only buy books at our thrift stores and sometimes yardsales. No matter how fancy they are, l never pay more than a dollar and on special days, .50!😊
Wow, I am so jealous of the bake off cookbook! I only have a couple of the little yearly editions- I've made a pie from one of them that ended up being fairly famous in people's families, apparently (peacheesy pie) and it was excellent. We don't have a half priced books around me but we do have some independent used bookstores and you've inspired me to go check at least one of them out tomorrow!
The cookbook that I like cooking from is the Betty Crocker 1989 cookbook. Some of the main menu recipes have a suggestion below it of what would pair well with that recipe.
Yes, more hauls! I collect vintage sewing/knitting books and fashion ephemera, but sometimes I'll pick up a cookbook. Recently I found the 1968 Life Magazine Picture Cookbook at a thrift store ($2). It's a hoot! I found the Victory Edition of the American Women's Cookbook with a torn dust jacket at an antique mall in Cincinnati. I couldn't bring myself to spend $50 for it, but I wish I had a copy. It's so cool.
Love it!!! I now have some more titles to be on the lookout for my collection. I just got one yesterday that's Betty Crocker's new picture cookbook from 1960.
I had the Betty Crocker Boys/girls cookbook. Totally forgot about it until you showed it. I wonder if my mom still has it. I’ll have to ask. She never gets rid of anything lol 😬😅
Have you ever seen The American Woman cookbook? It’s an incredible one. I believe it’s a 1935 edition. My mom had one and I used it a lot growing up. It’s green color. We don’t know what she did with it. Looking for one
More cookbook hauls! I’m a collector, too, and it’s great to see someone else’s collection. I love the way you cut down recipes to make one or two servings since I’m single home cook.
*Pleeeeeeeease* tell me you're going to cook a few recipes from that royal cookbook. That would be quite interesting!
I'm going to try! Some of the ingredients are a little hard to get, but I'm sure I can pull some sort of menu together. 😄
@@cooking_the_books Yay!!!!!!! QE 2's birthday is coming up on April 21st. (Hint, hint)
Would love to see some vintage cocktails too!

YES!! To cookbook hauls! I stopped buying vintage cookbooks, but you've enlivened my desire to find them.
MORE COOKBOOK HAULS! I love all your new cookbooks! I'm looking forward to future videos featuring recipes from them! Thank you for sharing!❤❤❤❤
When you said I was gonna flip at the sight of those bake-off photos, you were right! 😂
That Royal cookbook! 🤩
More hauls! I am trying to get back into collecting, I just love the vintage with photos! You've got some really great ones, thank you for sharing!

Yes I enjoy the cookbook hauls. Also I would enjoy seeing you cook some recipes from the Royal cookbook.
I'm really interested in the Shaker cookbook. Please do a full days menu with that one!
I have also started collecting vintage cookbooks... im addicted HAHA
What a delight as you share these treasures ❤
"Sweet petals coffeecake" is a family favorite that I think is from the Bake Off cookbook. 1959 would be about right for my mom's copy.
Yes please! More cookbook hauls would be fun. 😊 I enjoy seeing vintage cookery books.
Yes to more cookbook hauls! I had to stop buying/collecting cookbooks because of downsizing...so I really enjoy seeing the cookbooks you buy or are given.

to titles I’ve never come across before!
Wish I could find vintage cookbooks at those prices!!
I love a cookbooks haul! You scored some treasures.
We don't have those stores in mid Missouri so l only buy books at our thrift stores and sometimes yardsales. No matter how fancy they are, l never pay more than a dollar and on special days, .50!😊
Yes, thank you .To more cookbook hauls.
Wow, I am so jealous of the bake off cookbook! I only have a couple of the little yearly editions- I've made a pie from one of them that ended up being fairly famous in people's families, apparently (peacheesy pie) and it was excellent. We don't have a half priced books around me but we do have some independent used bookstores and you've inspired me to go check at least one of them out tomorrow!
I have the Shaker Cookbook! You don’t see that one too often.
I love cookbooks! I have well over 100.
Wow...I really need to go to my local Half Price Books to see what I might find! 🤞
Thanks so much I enjoyed what you shared
Glad you enjoyed this one! ❤
I've been trying to get the Royal Cookbook for quite some time. You found it in the wild and I am jealous.
thanks!
The cookbook that I like cooking from is the Betty Crocker 1989 cookbook. Some of the main menu recipes have a suggestion below it of what would pair well with that recipe.
Great share
I enjoyed this haul so much! I must say that my favorite is the Royalty cookbook! I'd love to know what their favorite meals were!
Love a good cookbook haul
Yes, more hauls! I collect vintage sewing/knitting books and fashion ephemera, but sometimes I'll pick up a cookbook. Recently I found the 1968 Life Magazine Picture Cookbook at a thrift store ($2). It's a hoot! I found the Victory Edition of the American Women's Cookbook with a torn dust jacket at an antique mall in Cincinnati. I couldn't bring myself to spend $50 for it, but I wish I had a copy. It's so cool.
Love it!!! I now have some more titles to be on the lookout for my collection. I just got one yesterday that's Betty Crocker's new picture cookbook from 1960.
LOVE the cookbooks you found, and what bargains! I don't know if I could have left any of those.
What a score! Love the bake off one, I’ve got a couple of the little booklets but have never seen them compiled in a book.
They have always had a gazillion cookbooks
More cookbook hauls!
I had the Betty Crocker Boys/girls cookbook. Totally forgot about it until you showed it. I wonder if my mom still has it. I’ll have to ask. She never gets rid of anything lol 😬😅
Anna. You’re a national treasure.
I love these videos of youd cookbook hauls, your love for them great.
Glad you like them! 😊
Please make something from the Shaker cookbook!
Have you ever seen The American Woman cookbook? It’s an incredible one. I believe it’s a 1935 edition. My mom had one and I used it a lot growing up. It’s green color. We don’t know what she did with it. Looking for one
My BH&G cookbook has a gold cover. Inherited it from my mom.
yes
