Fun recipe books

[Guest guest]

I was just looking at some fun vegetarian cook books on Gutenberg

(which for anyone who doesn't know is older books out of copyright).

Now obviously all of these recipes are not " slimming " , but the

majority of them are not too bad; they focus on a few basic

ingredients for each recipe. No tofu or tofutti, no mixes, just a few

common ingredients for each recipe, along with general instructions

how to prepare them.

 

I generally download the non-zipped html file, if there is one. Plain

text otherwise.

Reform Cookery http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/11067

Cassell's Vegetarian Cookery http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/14594

Vaughn's Vegetable Cookbook http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/22829

 

Some of them use a few terms that are more obscure now, but hopefully

they are explained or can be figured out. For example, " nutter "

refers to nut butter.

 

Hope someone else enjoys these as much as I do!

Wow, thanks for these links! I love looking at old cookbooks and I'm

especially excited to have a look at Kellogg's book since I've read so

much about him and his sanitarium.

 

Isn't it funny that the food company started by one of the leading

proponents of natural health now produces one of the most unhealthy

lines of processed foods? I wonder if Mr. Kellogg would roll over in

his grave to hear about Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops and Cocoa

Krispies?!

 

Thanks for the books!
