I don't know how she did it, but she was a great cook.<br /> <br />I thought the picture of the refrigerator was interesting, too. I wonder how often people went to the store back then, as the refrigerators wouldn't have held enough to shop weekly.<br /><br /><br />susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315539149655307592.post-26278133657365257332013-05-20T00:25:32.609+01:002013-05-20T00:25:32.609+01:00Love your tablecloth - what a lovely gift and frie...Love your tablecloth - what a lovely gift and friend! <br /><br />I adore vintage cookbooks and reading the recipes, thank you so much for sharing this one with us.

That's the second time this morning that has happened. <br /><br />I loved this post, and I think it's great that you have that treasure of a cookbook. It made me smile. And so does that lemon curd.

I can relate about the little old lady cooking over an open fire; the first time I met my mother-in-law, she was proudly cooking a delicious chicken ragout over such flames! The embroidered tablecloth is very pretty; love the colours!

The pictures are so lovely and give such a nice glimpse into the past. I agree that the earlier books expected young woman to know quite a bit in advance, whereas today's books are quite detailed. (My favorite old recipes say things like "Bake until done" which I think would be quite daunting to a young inexperienced cook!!) I have a a small collection of older cookbooks and I routinely try to sort through and discard some, in the interest of paring down, but in the end I can't bear to part with any of them! I hope you're enjoying the lovely spring weather where you are.Haworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674542285398289771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315539149655307592.post-50108253477983576682013-05-16T13:19:47.621+01:002013-05-16T13:19:47.621+01:00I loved reading this post Daphne and your story ab...I loved reading this post Daphne and your story about buying chunks of ice in Greece reminded me that when I was young in England no-one had a freezer, just a fridge. The ice cream man used to come around the streets around dinner time and I'd take a large bowl out for him to fill so we could have ice cream with our tinned peaches. If he didn't arrive at the right time then we'd have to make do with a tin of evaporated milk!

The fancy aprons they used wear were wonderful. I so rarely wear one..have a couple, but most of the time don't put any on. Yes, life was much more formal back then.
