Likely this is a person who enjoyed cooking and did so long before the internet became a big resource for recipes.


Correct. These were my non-maternal great grandmother, who died at 99 last year, and her daughter's collection.

I was reluctant to dig into these because she has 50 other things she collected, but y'all convinced me. I'll post some pictures later.

I just got over here and started digging in about a week ago and I'm still finding stuff everyday. She still has a working 8 track and I've been loving going through those.

Appreciate everyone's help.

Looks like you have a treasure trove of neat stuff!

My Mom has always written in her cookbooks when she's cooked something from them. She may put in her changes or write whether she liked the recipe etc... You may want to thumb through the books to see if your relatives did the same.

She had good taste in music. That's for sure.

I'd like to see the recipes in the Farmerville cookbook.

I understand what you're going through.

I have a 350+ cookie cutter collection from a family member that I can't just put in the goodwill box. Have never sold anything on eBay and no desire to start. Scrolling through this thread looking for a brilliant idea.
