The Brooklyn Daily Eagle Cook Book of 1926. The Eagle had also published cookbooks in 1922, 1923, and 1924. They were part of the newspaper’s “Libraries,” a series of pamphlets on diverse topics.

Among some of the recent finds was a bunch of cool books from the 60s-80s. No idea if the recipes are any good but I've gotten a few laughs.

My First Cookbook and What it Taught Me ... and Maybe You, Too

First edition, 1955 (Photo credit: C. Bertelsen) I still have my very first cookbook, now wearing a faded gingham cover, much like a well-worn and well-loved apron that used to belong to the archetypal American grandmother, possibly one with British antecedents like mine. A three-ring binder for all practical purposes, the book allowed fledgling cooks like me to add recipes, ideally from the…
