I am amazed how often I go back to the oldest recipe books in our collection for recipes.

Well-thumbed cookbooks makes the food taste better.

I also have a small collection of community recipe collections from churches and schools. Even more impressive when we visit some of those folks and recognize their name.

I must agree that the old cookbooks have the best memories. I have some pages that are positively messed up in that Betty Crocker Cookbook :)

I have saved clipped from the newspaper recipes, and still have ones that my folks clipped years ago. I used to have a cookbook from my girl’s grade school with recipes, but that disappeared many years ago.
