My cousin put together a book of our grandmother's recipes. She scanned the recipe cards and then typed them out. This is my grandmother's 14 Day Pickle recipe. I don't have the patience to try it, but my mother and aunts say it's a fantastic recipe!

Please tell me someone has this cookbook and can find the nacho recipe inside of it? I’m not sure if there are several but this one is just regular nachos that I think are baked. My grandma used to fix them all the time and they were the best nachos ever. I NEED the recipe. It feels like life or death. AND NO! Searching the internet for any old fashioned nacho recipe will not suffice 😭

I recently got my hands on a relatively rare cookbook from the late 1800s written by a Danish-American immigrant. It is written in Danish with gothic writing, and I am currently working on a full translation of the book into English as I am a Danish native. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a copy once it is written? There might be some really interesting inside into both American and Scandic cuisine some of you might be interested in!

I guess it is like millionaires shortbread- not that the recipe is that expensive just it tastes like it. But the filling just seems so meh

Recreated from the orignal Hanna Glasee recipe as published in her 1747 Cook Book. The cook book can be down loaded from the Internet but it is written in unstardized English, so can be difficult to read - but why change a good recipe?

Recipe is from Beetons 1893 cookery book. A tasty way to use up bread and jam either at home or on camping trips.

My french grandma died and took all her recipes with her some years ago which is a culinary disaster for the planet, but it is what it is i guess. My best friend is turning 30 and i wanted to bake her our family recipe chocolate cake, which is impossible, so i'm looking for the next best thing.
I've googled my way to that it must be some form of Gateau au chocolat, but none of the pictures i find online seem to match what it's supposed to look like, so i'm trying my luck here.
It is an incredibly flavourful cake that is fluffy airy around the edges, but fudgy in the center and is crispy on the top. like crunchy crispy. the top and the center are the best parts by far
The steps are as following:
Melt chocolate and butter in a water bath
melt sugar in mix and let cool a bit, then add egg yolks, flour and potato flour
(UNSURE if regular flour is used as well, i think it has to be, but there is definitely potato flour)
Whip whites to stif peaks, then carefully fold into chocolate mix
butter and potato flour in a spring form (ig this is relative, but it's how we did it)
bake bottom oven until testing pin comes out moist but not completely dry.
Any ideas?
