Cookbooks from the 1920's

Any One Can Bake, published in 1927 by the Royal Baking Powder Company. It is embossed with a price of $2.00, which I find quite high for that era. Using the CPI Inflation calculator, it would sell today for $26.85!

The Art of Cooking and Serving, published in 1927 by Proctor & Gamble. Not to worry if you have no servants,  there's a chapter on "Table Service in the Servantless House"!

The Butterick Books of Recipes and Household Tips, published in 1927




The Modern Priscilla Cookbook, published in 1929. Given away for FREE at a neighbor's yard sale this summer.

Good Meals and How to Prepare Them, a Guide to Meal Planning, Cooking and Serving, published in 1929 by the Good Housekeeping Institute.
