My Mother, Virginia Leipper was an avid collector of cookbooks.
She accumulated recipe books from a variety of sources including
those provided with new appliances, gifts from friends, and
purchases. Often on our travels, she would pick up a regional
cookbook or a souvenir book from some place we visited. She also
inherited recipe books from her Mother and other family members. I
have followed in her footsteps and amassed my own collection of
cookbooks. This is a sample of some of our collection. The PDF
documents contain the title cover, the table of contents, and a
sample recipe from that book. I have included any pages that have the
date the book was published.
The original 1950 edition is the cookbook we grew up with. Over the years we acquired a variety of Betty Crocker cookbooks. Click here for more Betty Crocker
