Last Saturday at a festival I found a 1950's era recipe book and it was HAND MADE!
It was made from a spiral notebook that had math problems underneath the recipes.I am thinking possibily a school project for a family science course. Most of the notebook consists newspaper cutouts, but also some magazine cutouts. The maker of this recipe book took the time to organize the recipes by theme: apple, prune, pudding, etc. It is mostly desserts, but also has some complete meal recipes. Here is a peak:

Newpaper Cutouts |

Magazine Cutouts |

The person took the time to add stickers and magazine clippings to decorate the book. |

Sharing cook secrets |
A five dollar treasure! Soon I will be picking out some retro recipes and sharing them with you!
