Weekend Cooking – Victory in Europe July 1945

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Julie Goucher

Amongst my Grandmother’s belongs was this little cookbook in making cakes and icing. I don’t know if she ever used the recipes or if she had numbers 1-65.

    Those would be interesting recipes to try. I was surprised to see the soya flour in the almond paste.

    Neat. I like the measurement in 'dessertspoonsful.' That would be interesting to try to reinterpret today.

    I love the old cookbooks from the 1930s and 1940s. I hope you'll share a recipe or two.
