Retro Cooking

I love old books in general but there’s nothing I like more than browsing through old cookbooks and imagining people, way back when, using them in their own kitchen.

I am going through all the old cookbooks I can get my hands on and try a variety of recipes. I don’t want to restrict myself to a specific kind of recipe but I want to try things that are somewhat out of the (modern) ordinary.
