Like my mother’s cooking
Posted at 9:16am on Friday, March 16th, 2007
My Mum, gawd bless ‘er, hasn’t bought a lot of cookbooks recently. In fact, it’s fair to say, she hasn’t bought any new cookbooks in about 30 years. On the shelves in the kitchen are carefully arranged a set of Associated Book Club Cordon Bleu books (with covers remarkably like Antonia’s Marguerite Patten cards) that are still regularly thumbed. Not for her the delights of Jamie, Nigel or Gordon. Oh no!
She will, then, absolutely love oldcookbooks.com. An almost limitless mine of antique cookbooks.
The covers alone are enough for me, but I imagine the contents are just as delectable. Mmm mmm mmmmm!
