For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old\u00a0cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There\u2019s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus\u2019s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!

I love you for sharing this!!!

For more old cookbooks, Michigan State University has 76 of their historical cookbooks scanned and searchable at Feeding America: The Historic American Cookbook Project.

For even older recipes, check out Gode Cookery.\u00a0 They list medieval and Renaissance cooking instructions and translate the recipes for you into measurable amounts and all.

I have have have to mention Miss Leslie. I learned so much about cooking from that book, even if a lot of it is outdated.

\n

Also, Forme of Cury is great fun, if you can muddle through the Middle English (Gode Cookery has translations and adaptions of some of the recipes from this).

Can confirm that Gode Cookery is brilliant.
