Hi Anna and all the cooking the books fans, I watch you every Sunday night before bed as I am in Ireland, and I normally go to bed hungry after watching 😂
🌞 I was wondering - do you think us Americans of Irish heritage are silly? We’re quite proud of it here. Wait. I was just assuming you are native Irish, but maybe you’re American. 🤣
Woman’s Day and Family Circle were my go-to and favorite magazines for over 50 years. I cancelled my subscriptions when I was in my sixties because most of the content was aimed at women with busy schedules, kids, and family activities which no longer applied to me as a retiree empty-nester. My mom also bought these wonderful magazines every month at the supermarket so they were a staple of my childhood. I still have lots of tried and true recipes that I clipped from them, and even still have several of their complete anniversary issues, dog eared and well loved. Thanks for featuring the Woman’s Day cookbook on your channel - the recipes look delicious and the trip down memory lane was delightful. Best wishes for a swift recovery from your surgery.
I was a young mother back in the early 70s. I treated myself every month with Woman's Day, and Family Circle. The holidays were amazing with the bigger celebrations magazines.
My mom bought both the magazines also and would wear the pages out. At Christmas time they would add a wonderful Christmas story and she would wait till we put the tree up and all in the festive mood and she would read us the story. Such fond memories! I’m so glad God gave us memory banks and that you open them up for us! 💖💞
Your book shelf is so fascinating…you should do a shelf tour or gather some and do a “show and tell” style vid where we can see what you have on those shelves.
Thank you! I don't really have a show and tell style video, but do talk a little about how I organize my books (or...don't organize them!) in my 10K Subscriber video - bit.ly/3VB2WpO The short answer is I organize a lot of them by size. I do try to keep some similar books together - Betty Crocker, Better Homes & Gardens, etc, but otherwise shelving them by size has worked the best for me. Some of the booklets are so tiny that they'd definitely get lost among the bigger books if I tried to categorize them by year, cuisine, etc.
My Mom would defrost and clean the refrigerator every Saturday and then she and my Dad would go grocery shopping for the week. Once a month, she would buy Family Circle and Women's Day. Beside Reader's Digest, those were the only two magazines we had in the house. As a kid, I loved to look at all the fancy desserts. I was born in '61, so I adore you and this channel.
I know this isn't a sewing channel but I would LOVE it if for once if you'd branch out and make an "exclusive" episode, yes, name it something different if you have to, but make that tunic apron! You are the apron lady! Love this episode and love your channel.
We had Rotten Eggs (Eggs au Gratin), often growing up, on toast. I learned to make it at age 7. I was doing a lot of family cooking at that age. Pork chops were a specialty at that age…and hamburger stroganoff with either chicken or mushroom creamed soup…Cambells of course. It’s still a comfort food, my boys thought of it as a treat growing up. Lots of butter on the toast is a must. 🌈🌈🦋🦋
All these recipe looks phenomenal but I want to try the egg custard. I love that it’s low carb! Looks and sounds delish. Thank you for another great video!!!!
I worked at A&P for years in the 70's, early 80's. Their cookbook is AMAZING. Mine is falling apart as it was glossy paper covers. I have the 'detached" cover in my stash where I wrote down a recipe for buckeye's & still use it to this day. #Memories
The Ladies Home Journal was a magazine in my childhood home. My Mom had a subscription. Sewing patterns for lsdies' clothing were in there as well as recipes, keeping husbands happy, decorating/ hostess tips, etc.
Hi Anna! Thank you for sharing all these recipes. I've been cooking dinner for my family since 1996, when I moved out of my parents house. I am completely out of ideas for dinner. Not to mention, I have 3 very picky teens, and 2 of them have food allergies. I am so over cooking. Lol You have given me the great idea to dig out my old cook books from when I moved out. Not sure why I haven't thought to do so before I started watching your awesome videos. But you have given me the courage to go through all my books to find new recipes. Thanks!
Hey Anna! I am Hungarian from Hungary and I can tell two things about eggs Hongroise. The amount of paprika is perfectly fine! I've never ever met anything like this dish here 😅But the paprika is the reason why it is named Hungarian I think because nothing else seemed to be familiar to me ☺I am so happy to hear any mentioning of my little country. ❤🤍💚
The savory canapés remind me of the best egg salad I’ve ever had, which came from one of those Culinary Institute of America cookbooks (40s editions). It doesn’t give any measurements and was for deviled eggs, it I make it both ways. Just cut up the hard boiled eggs, add pimentos, chives, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and cottage cheese. So good! I can’t wait to try this version. :)
I remember the McCall’s magazine. Every month there would be a page with a Betsy McCall paper doll. She was always seasonally appropriate. My sister and I would have to share
Hi Anna. Hope you’re recovering well from your surgery! Absolutely love your videos. Do you have a video tour of the library behind you i. e., describing the books you have and how you organize them? If not, I’m sure it would be well received. 🌷🌺❤️💕
As a little girl, I’d spend many hours at the kitchen table looking through my mom’s cookbooks and clipped recipes. To this day, I still really enjoy just looking at recipes ❤
I’ll definitely be trying the savory canapés. I just learned, today, to scrambled your eggs and let them cool in the refrigerator while you get the other ingredients ready for egg salad, then just break the scrambled eggs up as you stir it together. I can’t wait to try it without peeling eggs!
I made the golden fleece yesterday morning. It was so good! I added Trader Joe's 21 Season Salute and pepper. Oh man. We grow our eggs in the backyard, and our yolks are pretty deep yellow, so they really were a pretty golden color. Thanks for the idea!
Ooh- I was going to do some of those cupcake breakfast sausage egg and cheese bites for the morning, but this Golden Fleece moment looks like a fun deviation. Can’t wait to try- sending love from NYC!
Love love love your vlogs! Thank you so much for sharing! I too love cookbooks and live to just read through them for my entertainment and then of course trying the recipes.
I remember growing up in the 70s we had a betty crocker cookbook that was in a 3 or 4 ring binder but looks like the ones you have your shelf , pretty sure my dad stillhas that it was pretty worn from use even then
Thank you for these! I just bought a zillion eggs and these will come in handy. I eat keto and all three are either already keto or easily adapted with just an easy change or two. I eat two meals a day and the first one is often egg-based. I have a few standards that I rotate through and I can see all of these becoming regulars, as well. The Hungarian eggs looks like a nice change-up to creamed eggs (I eat mine over chaffles). Can't wait to give them a try!
Ove your enthusiasm over eggs. I try and I know they are good but some days I can't face them. I think it come from my family raising broiler chickens. I will buy fresh eggs and add enthusiasm as a spice
My village in SW France has an annual brocante-flea market. I love seeing old cookbooks and magazines. Most, of course, are French but there are some British ones and very few American. After finding your channel, I cannot wait to it. BTW-the first dish sounds tasty and I’m with you-I think I’d like it cold.
Hi Anna! Thanks so much for this nostalgia-laden video. It took me back to the 70s, when I would wait for Mom to be done with her copy of Woman’s Day so I could flip through it and check out all the recipes and craft projects.
I learned something new! Didn't know the A&P fact. My Mom had the Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery. Style is the same format, and sub sections run the whole alphabet. Keep your eye out for it. I am bringing home my Mom's set on my next visit home. Good luck with your surgery. Take all the time you need to heal. We will wait.
I love over easy eggs on buttered homemade sourdough toast so much, it’s hard to break out of that rut, but that canapé topping as an egg salad variation is pretty beguiling…😊
Eggs Hongroise if I spelt that right is the recipe I might try. I did enjoy that you spoke about the book and just scored a copy. Cheap copy paperback so thanks Ms. Anna ....Ryan
I love your videos! ❤ The glass jar on the top shelf of your bookcase, the one that has the word "cracker"on it brings back happy memories! My mom had that jar when I was a kid. She made a zillion kinds of Christmas cookies and used this jar to store one of my favorite kinds. ❤
Hi Anna! My name is L. Taylor Nash and i live in University Heights, Ohio. I am an avid fan! You are do REAL and FUN!!!! My hear broke when i kearned about precious Dottie, and i know the pain😢. I have deduced from your shopping hauls that you might be in Tocky River, Westlake, Lakewood area and that really makes me happy that SOMEDAY, I may run into you! Great show!!!! One thing that bothers me, though, is that you seem to get too many negative comments, or so youve mentioned (i dont read them, usually). Please know you are beautiful and appear to be lovely, kind, fun-loving and let the people kvetching talk to themselves and KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!! (I'm 67 and we used to say that when we meant *You GO, Gurl*!!). 💜💜💜
Came across one of your videos a few months ago. I've since watched every video from the beginning several times over. I love the content! Perfect way to relax and unwind after a long day at work. You've made me fall in love with vintage cook books. I'll be on the hunt to start my very own collection every time I enter a thrift store/ flea market or anywhere I may find one.
Great video as always! And I just wanted to say I really appreciate that you often go out of your way to give us updates on how things reheat. As someone else in a small household, having some idea what I'm getting into with potential leftovers makes trying a new recipe feel much more approachable!
Thank you for your kind comment! If all goes to plan, I will have a video featuring small batch recipes for 2 people coming out in a couple of weeks. Though that might be of interest! 😊
For those times when you get in a scrambled egg rut, keep a selection of spice blends on hand to whisk into the eggs before you start cooking them. You can have, say, French herbs, curry powder, Italian seasoning, chili powder blend -- even some Mrs. Dash. One of my favorite flavorings for eggs turned out to be "Turkish Seasoning" I received as a sample in an order from Penzey's years ago. Before I ran out, they had opened a store reasonably close to me, so I bought a larger size there.
@@cooking_the_books I think it was Penzey's "Parisienne Bonnes Herbes" that was a hands-down winner for scrambled eggs. In one case, I included some in a little wedding gift for a co-worker, told him about using it in eggs, and soon heard rave reviews. He was already looking to buy more of it because it was going fast and he didn't want to run out.
@karameske4286 WomAn's Day. She even mentions it in the video that it's _Woman's_ Day, and not _Women's_ Day. Did your mom look at Family Circle, too? My mom loved both. Fond memories, indeed.
The Golden Fleece egg dish looks great; I wonder how it would be if you used one of the flavored cream cheeses that you can get these days? You might need to leave out the mustard powder, but I can imagine using cream cheese with chives, or smoked salmon flavored cream cheese, would be so good.
Anna, thanks for a great video on eggs. You got me hungry with the eggs and sauce on toast. And I miss Woman’s Day and Family Circle. They were 35 cents when I bought them.😊
I haven’t been able to try any of these yet because I still need to do my monthly grocery shop. However, inspired by watching the.Eggs Hongroise recipe (and remembering MFK Fisher’s story of making something called Hindoo Eggs when she was young), when I heated up my leftover sweet potato-coconut curry for dinner tonight I poured it over quartered medium boiled eggs instead of rice. It was fabulous!
My mom had STACKS of old Woman's Day mags. She rarely threw anything like that out. Woman's Day and Fate. I donated the lot to the library after she passed. The canapes I'm wondering if you cut the butter in half and replaced with mayo... Not sure on the egg clouds. I prefer my scrambled-esque eggs cooked extra well done, maybe even with dome dark brown spots from the pan getting to hot. But, will try them! The Hugarian eggs, wonder about poached eggs instead, sorta like a Hungarian Eggs Benedict. Did you every fry your Spam up like bacon? It's how I cook mine. Slice thin and fry... yum!
Thanks for making this video!! I am trying to incorporate small meals with eggs for my husband and I and these are fantastic ideas. I can't wait to try the first one, yum!!! PS: I LOVE your tea kettle...
I love eggs and any recipe with them is great. I am going to make the one with the toast rounds that one is different and haven't tried but want to. Have a great day
That egg canape recipe looks intriguing. And I thought that the Hungarian egg recipe would have raw eggs cooked in the sauce, I don't know why I was so taken aback to see hardboiled eggs lol
Yum Yum Yum!!!! You hit the trifecta. These all looked so good. You’re right nothing says fancy like taking something and putting it in sauce and serving it on toast. I was going to say the first one didn’t sound quite right because I didn’t think the ketchup would work but then I remembered I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs so it’s probably fine. The second and third recipe? I can’t wait to try them.
I miss Woman's Day and Family Circle - those along with Good Housekeeping were staples in our home growing up. And after having my own place, I subscribed to all of them for ages. Then the first two stopped and GH just went so down hill (last time I looked, they did not even have the 'gingerbread house' contest winner on the cover of a Dec. issue and I was done with them!). You've inspired me to look for older issues than the several decades' worth I have to add to my collection.
Can we vote on seeing the old magazines? Seeing them will win! LOL. I love the old magazines and they were the one thing my mom “splurged” on, probably cost .20. I used to read them cover to cover even though I was a little girl. Probably how I learned to read. (I’m old. LOL)
@cooking_the_books, Hi Anna, I so wish my Grandmother was a pack rat & had saved her Magazine’s as she purchased anything with a recipe & then my Mom would read them & then I would make the dish as I was the one who loved cookbooks like you do, which my Grandparents got me started on cook books & my Mom supervised me cooking at a VERY YOUNG AGE.( if your taught to respect knives & kitchen appliances at an early age then you will have a child who will not get hurt & will respect kitchen rules to NOT hurt themselves. I was an old soul at an early age lol Never got hurt cooking nor baking as a young child …only as a older teen when I was bumped into & the pot holder slipped out of my hand & it had a tiny little burn. Love your videos Anna, Good luck on your surgery. My younger daughter had the same tear at 19/20 yrs old & it was repaired . Good thing I was a nurse & took care of her , gave her her meds & caked her dressing etc & made sure she listened lol . Give me a yell & I’ll look after you as well. I can be an older Sister who you can chat about cooking & cookbooks with lol ~ Anita3kids in NJ 💜🙏🏽🌻🧶🧸
You are right, we all need to up our egg game. Love paprika dishes but think this one would look nicer if the eggs were on the bread and sauce poured over. I'd make this. My mom often picked up WD and FC magazines. Your older copies are precious. Hello from sunny Oregon!
This is such a great challenge, to think of alternative ways to prepare eggs. You're right. We do get stuck in a rut with our eggs, they are the ultimate fast food after all! But these are really good!
Hi Anna and all the cooking the books fans, I watch you every Sunday night before bed as I am in Ireland, and I normally go to bed hungry after watching 😂
Thank you for watching and pleasant dreams! 😴
Have great dreams and a wonderful week!

This came in great timing I’m low on food and funds however I’m stocked up on my brothers farm fresh chicken eggs. 😀
I fed 6 kids alot of eggs to cut expense and all my kids don't hate me and still fix eggs
You know you are a big fan when you watch even when you hate eggs lol
Haha oh my! Well thank you so much for watching!
That's 😁 😊
Fellow egg-hater but Cooking the Books fan here!
Same!
I can't eat eggs due to stomach issues but thinking the third recipes would be great with another protein and switch out to a smoked paprika.
I was a young mother back in the early 70s. I treated myself every month with Woman's Day, and Family Circle. The holidays were amazing with the bigger celebrations magazines.
I grew up in the 1970s and loved (still enjoy) Family Life and Woman's
Day magazines.
My "go-to" egg dish is chile relleno casserole. It cycles through often in meatless meals.
My mom bought both the magazines also and would wear the pages out. At Christmas time they would add a wonderful Christmas story and she would wait till we put the tree up and all in the festive mood and she would read us the story. Such fond memories!

The short answer is I organize a lot of them by size.

Some of the booklets are so tiny that they'd definitely get lost among the bigger books if I tried to categorize them by year, cuisine, etc.
This is a comforting episode. That is the first word that comes to mind...comforting.
Oh I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
I wonder if the Golden Fleece recipe would be good spread on toast? All the recopies looked good!🥰💖💙💜
that sauce for the hongroise looks wonderful. it would work with eggs but also vegetables or spaetzle or potatoes.
Oh gosh I hadn't even thought of spaetzle. YUM!
The Golden Fleece looks like a combination of an omelet and a quiche. That one has a ton of possibilities.
I love eggs. This was a great vlog, nice variety and simple ingredients ❤
Thank you! ❤

The Golden Fleece looks like the texture of the sous vide egg bites at Starbucks.
ETA Ha! We thought this same thing.
I have a few modern Woman’s Day magazine recipes off their website, but yeah nothing can compete with the beautiful vintage cookbook/magazine!
We had Rotten Eggs (Eggs au Gratin), often growing up, on toast. I learned to make it at age 7. I was doing a lot of family cooking at that age.

As an Egg Lover, I needed this video
I found a great cookbook yesterday. It was Mrs Beaton baking. It is a recent reprint but obviously the content is much older.
I enjoyed this video. I'd especially like to try the Hungarian recipe. Thanks Anna.

The Golden Fleece sounds like a really good one to try.
My Mom made the creamed sliced hard eggs over toast with the dyed Easter eggs and it was very colorful. 🐣
Love this! I remember having soooo many dyed eggs to use up every Easter. 😂
I think an egg is the perfect food. I love your videos and you’re making me want to try some of these recipes. You make it look easy! 😊
I am glad you added the recipe for the Hungarian eggs. I cannot find a recipe like that anywhere and I can’t find that book anywhere.
I've never seen it either, which made me want to try it out ever more!
@@cooking_the_books I am going to make it for lunch this weekend!
Thank you for these! I just bought a zillion eggs and these will come in handy. I eat keto and all three are either already keto or easily adapted with just an easy change or two.

Eggs and Anna Sunday! Hope your surgery goes well and you heal quickly! ❤
Thank you! ❤
Good ones! Eggs-cellent!
Eggs are my fave food! Yay!
Alaska loves Anna! Seriously, I’ve bote 4 vintage cook books you’ve introduced to us. Keep posting, AK is watching 🐾❤️🐾

Before I ran out, they had opened a store reasonably close to me, so I bought a larger size there.
I love a spice blend and Penzey's! Trader Joe's has some great ones too. My favorite is their Green Goddess seasoning. 😋
@@cooking_the_books I think it was Penzey's "Parisienne Bonnes Herbes" that was a hands-down winner for scrambled eggs. In one case, I included some in a little wedding gift for a co-worker, told him about using it in eggs, and soon heard rave reviews. He was already looking to buy more of it because it was going fast and he didn't want to run out.
I love eggs and old magazines etc! (Old cook books too..but not a collection, family hand me downs!) love ya! Good luck with your surgery!!❤
My mom loved Women’s Day
Magazine and always read it
@karameske4286 WomAn's Day. She even mentions it in the video that it's _Woman's_ Day, and not _Women's_ Day. Did your mom look at Family Circle, too? My mom loved both.
Fond memories, indeed.
The custard looks interesting, but I was waiting for you to add sugar with a little cinnamon on top to make it into a dessert!
The last one reminds me of shakshuka (sp).
Eggs aren't really my thing but I do enjoy your videos.
They all look yummy!
OK that whisk thing is awesome
I love it so much I have two! 😂 It's the Joseph Joseph Twist Whisk: amzn.to/3XflgGo
The Golden Fleece egg dish looks great; I wonder how it would be if you used one of the flavored cream cheeses that you can get these days? You might need to leave out the mustard powder, but I can imagine using cream cheese with chives, or smoked salmon flavored cream cheese, would be so good.
I use my egg genie for hard cooked eggs. I bought it years and years ago from TV and it's one of the best things I've ever bought. 😊
Oooh these all sound good! I want to try that paprika sauce, but maybe over soft boiled eggs instead.
Anna, thanks for a great video on eggs. You got me hungry with the eggs and sauce on toast. And I miss Woman’s Day and Family Circle. They were 35 cents when I bought them.😊
I haven’t been able to try any of these yet because I still need to do my monthly grocery shop. However, inspired by watching the.Eggs Hongroise recipe (and remembering MFK Fisher’s story of making something called Hindoo Eggs when she was young), when I heated up my leftover sweet potato-coconut curry for dinner tonight I poured it over quartered medium boiled eggs instead of rice. It was fabulous!
Sounds delicious! 😋
My mom had STACKS of old Woman's Day mags. She rarely threw anything like that out. Woman's Day and Fate. I donated the lot to the library after she passed. The canapes I'm wondering if you cut the butter in half and replaced with mayo... Not sure on the egg clouds. I prefer my scrambled-esque eggs cooked extra well done, maybe even with dome dark brown spots from the pan getting to hot. But, will try them! The Hugarian eggs, wonder about poached eggs instead, sorta like a Hungarian Eggs Benedict. Did you every fry your Spam up like bacon? It's how I cook mine. Slice thin and fry... yum!
Thanks for making this video!! I am trying to incorporate small meals with eggs for my husband and I and these are fantastic ideas. I can't wait to try the first one, yum!!!
PS: I LOVE your tea kettle...
Hi Anna! Thank you for the great ideas to spruce up some eggs! Good luck with health journey. Peace LOVE the Oven Glove!
Another great episode!
Thank you! ❤
I love eggs and any recipe with them is great. I am going to make the one with the toast rounds that one is different and haven't tried but want to. Have a great day
I think I am going to try the Golden Fleece but I think I will figure out how to cook them in my Instant Pot.
I’m intrigued by the Hungarian dish looks delish
That egg canape recipe looks intriguing. And I thought that the Hungarian egg recipe would have raw eggs cooked in the sauce, I don't know why I was so taken aback to see hardboiled eggs lol
Love watching your videos. I've even bought a few of the cookbooks you've highlighted. Thanks for the videos.
I love eggs. I'm excited about this video.
Yum Yum Yum!!!! You hit the trifecta. These all looked so good. You’re right nothing says fancy like taking something and putting it in sauce and serving it on toast. I was going to say the first one didn’t sound quite right because I didn’t think the ketchup would work but then I remembered I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs so it’s probably fine. The second and third recipe? I can’t wait to try them.
I miss Woman's Day and Family Circle - those along with Good Housekeeping were staples in our home growing up. And after having my own place, I subscribed to all of them for ages. Then the first two stopped and GH just went so down hill (last time I looked, they did not even have the 'gingerbread house' contest winner on the cover of a Dec. issue and I was done with them!). You've inspired me to look for older issues than the several decades' worth I have to add to my collection.
Can we vote on seeing the old magazines? Seeing them will win! LOL. I love the old magazines and they were the one thing my mom “splurged” on, probably cost .20. I used to read them cover to cover even though I was a little girl. Probably how I learned to read. (I’m old. LOL)
@cooking_the_books, Hi Anna, I so wish my Grandmother was a pack rat & had saved her Magazine’s as she purchased anything with a recipe & then my Mom would read them & then I would make the dish as I was the one who loved cookbooks like you do, which my Grandparents got me started on cook books & my Mom supervised me cooking at a VERY YOUNG AGE.( if your taught to respect knives & kitchen appliances at an early age then you will have a child who will not get hurt & will respect kitchen rules to NOT hurt themselves. I was an old soul at an early age lol Never got hurt cooking nor baking as a young child …only as a older teen when I was bumped into & the pot holder slipped out of my hand & it had a tiny little burn. Love your videos Anna, Good luck on your surgery. My younger daughter had the same tear at 19/20 yrs old & it was repaired . Good thing I was a nurse & took care of her , gave her her meds & caked her dressing etc & made sure she listened lol . Give me a yell & I’ll look after you as well. I can be an older Sister who you can chat about cooking & cookbooks with lol ~ Anita3kids in NJ 💜🙏🏽🌻🧶🧸
Those recipes look great! Although I think they all could be improved with the addition of celery. Lots and lots of celery.
You are right, we all need to up our egg game. Love paprika dishes but think this one would look nicer if the eggs were on the bread and sauce poured over. I'd make this. My mom often picked up WD and FC magazines. Your older copies are precious. Hello from sunny Oregon!
This is such a great challenge, to think of alternative ways to prepare eggs. You're right. We do get stuck in a rut with our eggs, they are the ultimate fast food after all! But these are really good!
Love those magazines, I don't have a nice spot for things like that so I leave them. Love the advertisements in them also.
