Vintage Farmer’s Guide Cook Book Farmhouse Recipes Canning Handwritten Recipes For Sale

Vintage Farmer’s Guide Cook Book Farmhouse Recipes Canning Handwritten RecipesVintage The Farmer’s Guide Cook Book, an old farmhouse cookbook packed with traditional American recipes and household information.This is a heavily used, genuinely old working cookbook—not a pristine shelf copy. It contains recipes for breads, meats, cakes, pies, candies, preserves, pickles, vegetables, soups and desserts, along with sections on canning and drying, butchering-day recipes, laundry helps, stain removal, beauty and health preparations, menus and household tips.What really makes this copy special is the material accumulated by its former owner. Several handwritten recipes and notes remain inside, along with old newspaper and magazine recipe clippings tucked or pasted into the book. These include handwritten recipes such as sandwich spread and strawberry preserves. I am leaving these exactly as found because they are part of the book’s history.Condition is very rough and well-used. The covers have extensive surface wear, staining, paper loss and old residue. Pages have considerable age toning, staining, spotting, writing and wear, and there are loose/tucked-in recipe clippings and handwritten additions. Binding and page edges show significant wear. Please view photographs carefully. Nothing has been cleaned, removed or restored.Despite the condition, this is a wonderful piece of early American farmhouse and domestic history—the kind of cookbook that was actually kept in a kitchen and used rather than preserved on a bookshelf.Great collectible for anyone interested in vintage cookbooks, old recipes, farmhouse kitchen history, canning and preserving, domestic history or primitive country décor.
