So #retroroulette What’s Cooking prompt this week is one of my favorites. Anything that has to do vintage recipes, kitchens and cookbooks I am hear for! Here is many pictures of my vintage cookbook collection from all through the 20th century. Also my Instagram as well as my blog Quaint Cooking is dedicated to vintage cooking! I love delving into the origins of old recipes or flipping through an old recipe box filled with handwritten recipes cultivated from someone’s life! #vintagecookbooks #vintagecookbook #vintagerecipes #booklover #bookcollector #vintage #1920s #1930s #1950s #1960s #1970s #secondhand #bookstagram #quaintcooking

I will admit that I am not a fan of coconut but I could overlook it for this cake. It is delicious and easy to make yellow cake with a simple broiled coconut frosting. Lazy Daisy cake has been a cake that has had its followers from the 1930s through to the 1970s. If you want to know the history and the origins of the slightly different but very similar version from Quaker Oats while seeing some old advertisements check out my blog. Both recipes are on Quaint Cooking as well! Also let me know if remember or was this a favorite? #lazydaisycake #vintagecakes #classiccakes #cakesofinstagram #bakestagram #coconut #easyrecipes #1930s #1940s #1950s #1960s #1970s #quaintcooking

Bob Newhart is an actor and comedian. Depending on your age, you may know him by his 1960s comedy albums, either of his tv shows The Bob Newhart Show (70s) or Newhart (80s), the movie Elf or from his guest appearances on The Big Bang Theory. On my blog Quaint Cooking, I shared his recipe or rather his wife Ginnie’s recipe for a carrot mold. Don’t worry there is no gelatin anywhere near this for those who run that even the slightest mention! This is baked and has a texture like a corn pudding. Ginnie finished it off with some peas but it could easily be update with lightly dressed mixed greens.

So picture it. It was the mid 1970s in America and Bicentennial fever was starting to take over. There were special coins, stamps, tv programs and museum displays. All around the country, towns and cities celebrated the 200th birthday of the United States. So like any good capitalists nation, brands started using Americana and red, white and blue in their packaging and advertising. One such instant was the McCall’s Great American Recipe Card Collection created to celebrate this occasion with a very 70s-centric view of popular national and regional dishes. On my blog I explained how you could acquire such set in the 1970s as well as old ads from newspapers. Also, if you want to see all the different sections, check out my stories. #1970s #seventies #recipebox #mccalls #americana #bicentennial #recipecards #mccallsgreatamericanrecipecardcollection #vintagerecipecards #vintagerecipebox #kitsch #retro #foodblog #quaintcooking

Today on the blog I posted about cookbook author Grace Zia Chu. She was one of first to teach Americans about Chinese cooking. Starting with classes in New York City and then traveling to do cooking demonstrations around the country. Two cookbooks were published as a result of those classes, The Pleasures of Chinese Cooking (1962) and Madame Chu’s Chinese Cooking School (1975). This was all accomplished after turning fifty and highlights that you can pivot to other opportunities later in life! Check it out on my blog Quaint Cooking.

On Quaint Cooking, I posted about the origins of pineapple upside down cake. Check it on out to see some cool old advertisements. As a side note, man did I have so much trouble getting this picture. First somehow I forgot the egg. Luckily it fairly worked out just had more of a crumble to the texture. Then, even though I have made this cake before, this time it wanted to stick. Of course this all happens when I didn’t have an extra can of pineapple to make another cake and of course I was not going to leave the house for one ingredient. Plus I grabbed the blue platter instead of the white one. Though if that is the worst thing for me today then I think I am in pretty good shape. Eventually I will redo it all just not today! #pineappleupsidedowncake #pineapple #maraschinocherries #midcentury #vintage #retro #kitschy #easydesserts #classiccakes #fruit #sweettreats #quaintcooking
