Don't know if this website has been posted before. This is a great site where you can download really old cookbooks online. I think the earliest one is 1798.

I love old cookbooks, this website is so cool. Thanks Jenyfari for the link its been added to my favourites. I found some great recipes for different hot chocolates for different times of day from the Boston Cooking School-Cookbook. I wonder why you would have different hot chocolate for reception then for yourself!
Anyway thanks again, very cool

I am addicted!!!!!!

Have spent hours on this website today looking through the old cookbooks and reading them. How fabulous.

I thank you.... although my housework was neglected, my soul and mind were nourished! Wink

Lucky my husband is away this week so I could afford to be totally immersed and forget about lunch and making a proper dinner.... Laughing

Thank you so much!!!! I just started browsing, and the first thing that caught my eye was The Complete Confectioner. I have been looking all over for many of these old-fashioned condiments and recipes. I am so excited -----

Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I'd post this here....

The Old Foodie

Went googling for a recipe for clotted cream and found burnt cream, the 19th C English version of crème brulée, which sounds yummy in it's own right! A new historic food blog and a recipe index full of curiosities! (A Tarte to Provoke Courage, anyone?)
