1930 book on the art of cooking and managing your servants
Another fun find in a mountain of old books! Including many pics of recipes 😁 Some of these recipe names definitely didn’t age well lol
Note to self: Supply my maids with neat, well-fitting uniforms 🧐

My grandmother was born in 1912, and after graduating high school, she went to work as a live-in maid in a wealthy household. Interesting to see this as it’s right at the same point in time.

Gonna hazard a guess that this cookbook was published by the fine folks who make Crisco.
But I could read this sort of thing all day. There’s hardly any better reading than cookbooks from bygone eras, even if they are thinly veiled advertisements.
