Hello! I’m Elaine, the Cookbook Lady. As a former caterer, my passion is cooking and my hobby is collecting twentieth-century cookbooks. As I read through old cookbooks, it is striking that many recipes have been virtually unchanged in a hundred years, yet others have been trendy flash-in-the-pan novelties that only survived a generation. I also feel a soulful connection to my domestic predecessors as they prepared thoughtful meals for their families. Cookbook Lady’s Recipe Digest will track the evolution of recipes throughout the twentieth century. Join me on my journey through my timeless cookbooks. Elaine
