“I’d rather sit down with an old cookbook than any reading material. “

Same here. I read cookbooks for fun. The older ones with a historical note are the best.

Both Gutenberg.org and Archive.org have a number of old cookbooks. At one historical period, "cookbooks" also included running households, managing domestics, etc.

I just love being reminded to go down to my local ironmonger for rods to make a rack for the oven, or heck, just dust off the thermospodium for the next dinner party.

I love regular cookbooks ! (and regular books in general). The internet is amazing in what you can research and find but I am still drawn to books and buy them at bookstores, library sales, Amazon etc.

Hi everyone...
