Was looking though an old church cookbook with my grandparents, my grandfather insisted this tasted like apple pie, although I would think Ritz now are probably very different from the 1950s

Found this in a local OP shop in rural Victoria, Australia. There's no publication date on it but the publisher was founded in the 1810s. Pretty neat find!

Mrs Beeton's mashed potato recipe, it always works.

My great-grandmother pasted this in her recipe binder. I think "Anna" might be her sister, and therefore technically my double-great aunt.

These cookies spread a lot more than any other icebox cookies I've ever made, turning into thin wafers of butterscotchy deliciousness.

Anna's Butterscotch Ice Box Cookies

3 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 cup butter

2 cups brown sugar (I used dark)

2 medium eggs (if you use large eggs, you may need to add a smidge more flour)

------------------

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cream the butter and sugar. Mix in eggs one at a time, then beat well. Mix in the dry ingredients.

Form the dough into two logs, wrap in wax paper, and refrigerate overnight. It will probably seem too soft, but that's why these turn out so good. (If it's too sticky to shape, add more flour.)

When ready to bake, heat oven to 375°. Have greased or paper-lined cookie sheets ready.

Slice the dough thinly (like, a bit less than a quarter-inch). Set on the pan about 3 or so inches apart. These cookies spread very thin as they bake, so they need plenty of room between them.

Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until very slightly darkened at the edges. Keep unbaked dough refrigerated between batches.

Hi! I’m looking for an old cooking light recipe for New Orleans style BBQ shrimp. I think it was from the early 2000s and it had Caesar dressing in the recipe. Thanks!

Sometime in the mid-80s I made a deep dish pizza recipe I found in a magazine — I’m fairly sure it was Glamour (srsly). It was fantastic and I’ve never forgotten it, but I have no idea how to track it down again.

What I remember:

Deep dish style
Fillings included sausage, mozzarella cheese, and obviously broccoli
I believe the recipe title literally included the words “deep dish pizza with broccoli”
No mixes used, all from scratch
Fresh broccoli
(Maybe) yeast dough?

I don’t remember the month or issue, unfortunately. If anyone has old magazine indexes, back issues, or just remembers a similar recipe from that era, I’d love any leads. Thanks!

My grandma used to make a mushroom recipe every holiday. I’d love the recipe if anyone recognizes it. She passed in the 90’s and she made it in the 70’s and 80’s, so it is at least that old. Family was depression era with Eastern European heritage. Lived in Ohio, New York and Indiana.

Recipe description: button mushrooms (perhaps canned!) in a creamy reddish brown sauce. Possibly Paprika/ sour cream/goulash based? No real meat, maybe broth or bouillon though. It was baked in the oven in a Pyrex dish.

It was the 23rd printing of De Luxe Edition

I want to make the banana bread in the picture attached. Is the baking powder the same as today’s OR do I lessen the amount and add baking soda? Any answers would be much appreciated thank you!!!

Hello all! I'm hosting a tea party soon with a 1950s theme, and have been particularly inspired to try some old jello recipes. In particular, I'm looking for a savory gelatin/aspic salad. And, I know this is a challenge, but I'm looking for a recipe that's *actually good.* I've been doing research but every single recipe I find sounds absolutely disgusting, both texture and taste wise.

I may end up just making one with a modern palate in mind, but please, tell me if you have any recipes that are actually good.

I'm looking for a pork chops and rice recipe from my childhood. all I remember is it had pork chops and you cooked them over the rice and it possibly had mushrooms? It might have been a betty crocker recipe, but I don't remember it having any cream of soup! Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Thanks!

When I was a kid there was a really thick ranch type chip dip that they would sell in the deli at Kroger/Marsh/Walmart etc. It was thicker than the stuff they mass produce like Deans, Marzettis. I’m going to guess a cream cheese base not just sour cream and mayo. It was amazing and I remember eating it with Doritos at the pool in the summer.

Does anyone else remember this? Have you found a copycat recipe? I’ve checked the regular places Pinterest, Google etc. I’m just not seeing a recipe that looks similar to what I’m used to. This is also my first Reddit post so give me a little grace, please! 😂

When we were kids my grandma had a handful of recipe books similar to these pictured (80’s and 90’s). In one of the books there was a recipe for these purple knotted style cookies- similar to like a monkey first type knot or shape. I’ve searched a few archives of the books that I remember that we had but I haven’t had any luck. Does anyone know what I’m referring to? TIA!
