Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 i get some off ebay, some are very old, i like them the best, i have of from 1800..my sister got it for me, and i get a lot of Amish cookbooks from here tooSubject: Re: Re: dinner tonight/ old cookbookTo: MSersLife Date: Monday, January 17, 2011, 7:35 PM I collect cookbooks, too. I especially like the fund-raising type cookbooks from churches. I suppose you have those in Sweden, Reb? My very favorite cookbook is a fund-raising cookbook from a Lutheran Church in Blue Earth, Minnesota. I have been looking for a cookbook my mother cherished called "The Modern Family Cookbook" by Meta Givens. My mother's copy burned in our house fire when I was 15. I should do a saved search on Ebay! I hadn't thought of that before. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
