Looking for the older recipe / cooking sites
Hello All,
I'm looking for some old recipes and would like to know if any one has any sites book marked that may contain all old recipes. I've checked the following: http://www.allrecipes.com http://www.cdktichen.com http://www.recipesource.com So far I like the recipes at the last site. Any recommendations? thanks Frank |

For old recipes in particular check out this website. It's a history project that collected American cookbooks from the earliest ones they could find -- late 18th century on. It's a large collection and they are available for your reading online. Quite fun to browse through if you're into old cookbooks. It was posted here in rfc some time ago but I've forgotten by whom. -aem http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/...ml/browse.html Click on "the Project" at the top of the page and then on "FAQ" to get a good idea of what it's all about. |

Stuff from _Salt Water Foodways_ on cooking with the minimal ingredients then available? Recipes from when cookies were called cookys, or recipes receipts? Or are you looking for specific recipes for things you once enjoyed? Jessica |
