Hi Pat, nice to see you. What an unbelievable collection.

From a family who did much ethnic recipes and fun sill using them.

19:51
I remember my father and grandmother making homemade horseradish with a box grater from the root. Even though they were outside the house, they would weep from the fumes.

20:23
Holiday meals, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. Not only the delicikous food but also the memories of the family and friends who were there.

20:38
Oh how I remember making horseradish.

21:10
I have a bundle of hickory nuts in my front yard, Angela, I'll drop some off.

21:37
Not a chance, Jayne.

21:42
Canning again after 60 years been a challenge.

22:16
Oh yes, cracking hickory nuts! That was my job too … and I sure wouldn't do it today!

22:27
What are you canning, Barbara?

Daughter in law wanted to do dill pickles. It ended up being a hoot. Fortunately I still had some “vintage” utensils since nothing available locally. Made jam also.

Remember the Watergate cake. Also if anyone read Kitchen House — that has a great recipe also.

Mark Zanger's "American History Cookbook" has a great section on political cakes:

(He has corrected the recipes to work with modern ingredients, so they actually work.)

Yes!!! (to the baking question). Tho it’s 106 degrees outside in my part of Los Angeles, so will have to wait for a cooler day. :)

Really enjoying this talk!! Here in Los Angeles, we just tried a social media project using the #ArchivesCooking hashtag for National Cooking Day on September 25. Worked with Homestead Museum and Autry Library & Archives, in which various staff members (all working from home) cooked from cookbooks in their collections and we shared results on Twitter. Was really fun/interesting to see all these old recipes used in 2020 & the stories they inspired — someone even tried a Lady Baltimore cake. All this to say, just really appreciate this conversation and the larger framing of the importance of cookbooks in the archives.

01:11:05
How fun and delicious! And visually pleasing I'm sure.

I like to cook old recipes without using modern equipment and using old methods described (like "add dry ingredients alternately with liquid")

A recipe for Rice Cakes in the Godey's Lady's "receipt book" says to "beat all [ingredients} together for half an hour". Imagine using a spoon or maybe some type of handmade whisk and stirring briskly for a half hour!

Take a look at the Brit series “The Duchess of Duke Street” for a look at a woman who becomes a wonderful cook, and ends up telling others how to do it correctly. Fun series.

It's available on Amazon Prime Video
