I was going through some boxes of books and found a number of old cook books that were my late mothers and grand mothers. These books are printed between 1927 and 1951. They are actually older than me. not by much. As I was going through a couple of the books I found an old favorite one that my mother had marked as "DELICIOUS" and I agree.

I remember this as a kid, it seems a lot of work to produce but it is well worth it.
The old recipies do not usually have any pre done ingreadiants. they take a while to do. But you simply can not buy food like this in any plastic wrapped container at your local food store. You control the quality, not some bean counter tryig to eek out the maximum profit.
