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. The recipes were submitted by readers. It sold for a quarter, which was the equivalent of about $30 today.

In Tasty Dishes, cheese dishes outnumbered others. Cheese Fairy, cheese fondue, St. Armand cheese, cheese balls, cheese straws, cheese puffs, cheese patties, and “hot cheese dreams,” all appeared in this section.

I can’t even remember the last time I had meatloaf, and I’d bet a million dollars that there are better recipes than this one, but my family all really enjoyed it. I made the asparagus two ways, one with canned and one with fresh. The fresh was so much better, but honestly, not the best way to eat asparagus either way. It’s fine, but it’s kind of a waste of time when you could just grill it and season it and it’d taste better.

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…
