I give to my friend as a gift. This is the perfect gift-giving recipe book. She had been looking for recipes that her mountain- folks used to make, and also wanting to save money on the ingredients, due to her lay-off from her job. My good friend had been looking at the flea markets for this book. I found it on Amazon, very reasonably priced. This book is a valuable addition to any recipe collection. Shipping with lightning-fast.
Nothing new or interesting here. The Depression Era Cookbook will cause depression if you purchase it. It is obviously a self published cookbook with common recipes available most anywhere. Many self published cookbooks done by church groups for fund raisers have much better recipes than this poorly written book. Save your money during this depression.
Very impressed with the pictures and the recipes of the book.Everyone loved the recipe book because it gave you the sensation that you were in that era.Well done.
I found 6 recipes for veal, one for pork loin, and several for large cuts of meat (which amounts to expensive). I enjoyed the nostalgia the book provides very much and appreciate the author's endeavors, but was a little dissapointed with the recipes themselves. I was hoping to find a book full of dirt-cheap recipes (under $4 per recipe) I can cook for my family. Several recipes called for more than one type of meat which raises the cost of the recipe and there were several entertaining yet not-so-practical recipes for such meats as squirrel, racoon, rabbit, and one for pork neck. This was a wonderful trip down memory lane, but not the practical guide I am looking for.
I love the old recipes and the stories and ideas that are in it were even useful right now. Very quick delivery.
