[HANDMADE] [REPURPOSED] [COOKBOOK] RECIPES Hardcover - 1955

  • Used
  • Hardcover

Description

c. 1955. Hardcover. Black painted cloth covered boards. Good. 25.5 x 13.5 cm. Unattributed homemade cookbook from the mid-century. It looks as though our author used black wallpaper to cover the outer boards of a book to make it her own. The book consists of nine envelopes, each decorated with cut out images of food. For instance the Soup Envelope is decorated with a bowl of tomato soup and Campbell Soup cans along with a typed title and verse: "Soups - A bowl of soup, Right from the fire, Is a dish of which, I never tire." Envelopes: Salads and Dressings, Breads/Sandwiches/Rolls, Fish/Poultry/Meats, Vegetables, Cakes/Fillings, Pies and Pastries, Canned Fruits, Miscellaneous: "If you want recipes, Of another kind, Look here and, See what you find." Our unidentified author painted a scene of a cabin in the woods on the cover and drilled holes in the covers to use as an attachment device. One envelope, Pies and Pastries, is filled with cut out recipes and one handwritten recipes. Alas, the other envelopes are empty. Obviously this was a labor of love, made by a creative individual.
