Not a lot of hot stuff, but a truly fascinating historical collection.


-----


Folks, make sure the stove is turned off and the answering machine on, 
because you're going to get lost in this digital collection of historic 
American cookbooks:

http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/browse.html

Armloads of historic cookbooks, each scanned into the archive page by page.

Read all about the project at this link, with links to the FAQ and a video 
tour: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/html/project.html

"The Feeding America project has created an online collection of some of 
the most important and influential American cookbooks of the 19th and early 
20th century. The digital archive includes page images of 76 cookbooks from 
the MSU (Michigan State University) Library's collection as well as 
searchable full-text transcriptions. This site also features a glossary of 
cookery terms and multidimensional images of antique cooking implements 
from the collections of the MSU Museum.

"The Feeding America online collection hopes to highlight an important part 
of America's cultural heritage for teachers, students, researchers 
investigating American social history, professional chefs, and lifelong 
learners of all ages."

Good luck and have fun.
