Cookbooks from the 1950's Part I

The Art of Italian Cooking, published in 1955. Recipes for 200+  recipes, in the real Italian manner.

The Ford Treasury of Favorite Recipes from  Famous Eating Places, published in 1950. Printed by the Ford Motor Company, the first edition was printed in 1946.

Culinary Arts Institute Encyclopedic Cookbook, published in 1950. Another massive book with 974 pages.

Ann Pillsbury's Baking Book, published in 1951.

The Art of Serving Food Attractively, published in 1951. More of a garnish instructional manual than a cookbook.

The Joy of Cooking, published in 1952. Joy is one the most published cookbooks in the United States, and has been in print continuously since 1936 and with more than 18 million copies sold.The first edition was privately published in 1931 and sells for $3-5,000 (!!). My humble copy is a reprint of the 1951 edition with error corrections - because of the time taken by the protracted legal battles, final editing of the 1951 edition was hastily done.

The Family Circle Cake & Cooky Cookbook, published in 1953.

Early American Recipes - Traditional Recipes from New England Kitchens, published in 1953. The book has lots of cute illustrations by Barbara Corrigan. The original box the book came with is in pretty good condition for being 60 years old.
