3-Book Vintage Cooking Box Set by Angela A Johnson

Vintage Cooking from the 1800s - Eggs
Vintage Cooking from the 1800s - Poultry
Vintage Cooking from the 1800s - Pork

These books are part of the "In Great Grandmother's Time" book series. They were compiled from dozens of cookbooks published in the 1800s and arranged by subject manner. People in those days rarely had more than one or two cookbooks their entire lifetime.

Browse through the books in this box set and you'll get a snapshot of a different time, when people used an open-hearth fireplace or wood burning stove to cook food. Though times were often hard, it was a source of pride for housewives to produce good, healthy meals for their families.

Cooking advice and recipes were based on what was common at the time. Some of the ingredients are no longer sold, but it's still interesting to read what it was like in the days when people had to "make do" or do without. Measurements were not alway precise and cooking temperatures often vague, but they were a good starting point.

Cookbooks were useful for advice and recipes, but people really learned to cook through experience.

Reading about how people prepared and cooked food in the 1800s will give you a real appreciation for the conveniences we have today.

Each book has its own detailed Table of Contents, Vintage Cooking Terms, and Cookbook Sources page.
