it's gotta be river road recipes brother

is there any good repository for digital scans of cookbooks online? i thought piratebay would have at least one torrent for a random assortment of cookbook scans but there's nothing there

gotta love that spinach madeline

pic related is my favorite cook book. Not only does it have cozy recipes, but it has recipes for scratch making ketchup, sourdough starter, and spice mixes that are amazing. I love the meatloaf recipe in this book the best. I never would have imagined marlboro would have come up with something this good.

How many Marlboro miles did you have go send in for that?

>>14697314
Just googled that. Junior League cookbooks are always great.

>>14698581
none, I worked for a marketing company in the late 90s and we did a promotional run for Marlboro. I thought it would be gross, but it's great.

Libgen and z-library have loads of cookbooks on .pdf or .epub
Archive.org has some good ones but you need to have an account and de-drm the files

Who was that youtuber that followed a weird cookbook every day until they got through it? Might have been a rachel ray or some other food network book?

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

>>14695563
There is no better cookbook on the planet

An absolute must own for any home cook who wants to get to the next level

cookbooks are outdated. just sub to joshua weissman or adam ragusea on youtube

Offline information repositories are not a bad thing.
Even if we never go full SHTF, maybe ypu don't want to put a phone or tablet next to the stove where it's going to get dripped on.

>>14700723
I hope you're not talking about Julie and Julia, the movie.

>>14701881
you'll be lucky to have food at all let alone need a cookbook if that happens lil nigga

>>14701860
Being able to physically mark pages, highlighting, and writing notes does wonders, at least for me, because I can go back and look at it years later to see what techniques or ideas I had and expand or improve on them.
Not to mention handing that book down to someone else who can then put there own spin on it while seeing what I tried.

>>14701904
No it was a youtuber. That movie was complete ass btw. How do you get two great actresses together and come out with the most milquetoast trash ever conceived? Well, each role can't be a winner. Sometimes you just want a paycheck.

Beard on Bread is god tier.

The best cookbooks are the ones published by "_____ County Library Association" with the laminated covers and cheap spiral binding, where all the old ladies in the county got together to submit their recipes. Those are the ones that have the real shit in them. Every time I see one of those at a rummage sale, it's basically an instabuy.

>>14701167
That's right up there. I've made almost every cookie recipe in that book.

>>14702193
This guy knows whats up

My grandma's old neighbor back in Chicago did this. Done up on a typewriter and everything. Mostly Boomer tier stuff but it was really nice to see a time where people actually talked to their neighbors and had a sense of community...

These and a stack of Cooks Illustrated is what I have. I hardly use them anymore though. Most were gifts. The Joy of Cooking is somewhat useful, but it's the 50th anniversary edition or something, so it's the original version and some of the terms they use and products I have no idea what they're talking about.

ive got the essential of Classic Italian Cooking by Marcella Hazan
On Food and Cooking by Harold McGee
The French Laundry Cookbook by Michael Ruhlman(pdf)
and im tring to find a pdf of Modernist Cuisine by Nathan Myrvhold cause a physical copy is like $600

>>14702333
Is that thug kitchen book any good? I thought of it as a novelty

>>14702333
>feast of ice and fire
yikes. Do you plan on making lamprey pie? What a mummers farce.

>>14701860
They usually use cookbooks as references anyway.
There’s a ton of shit cookbooks out there, you have to find the ones that guide you into becoming a better cook than just a cookbook that’s a recipe dump

>>14695563
I really like this book for brain dead recipes, it’s good to have in hand

>>14702379
>watch youtube cooks
>wanna make some of their recipes
>dont wanna bring my laptop to the kitchen bench when im working with flours and liquids
>watch and study the videos
>write down the methods and ingredients on a slip of paper to bring with me
>reference paper when i need to know the next step

ah fuck i just invented the cook book again

>>14702371
I only made one recipe from it, the landlocked "ceviche" it was pretty good for vegan "ceviche", but the whole book is vegetarian/Vegan, which my brother didn't know about when he bought it for me.
>>14702374
I made Sansa's Lemon cakes, Dornish Pear brandy or something, and Seven Sister's stew that all turned out great. My friend made the "pigeon's pie" with vegetarian chorizo of all bizarre things, and it was r4eally delicious. There was a Sansa's Salad or something with nuts and strawberries or something that I used some substitutions for and will still make in spring and summer, and the crusty white bread is a recipe I make regularly.

>>14702193
This. If there's a name right next to the recipe from the person who submitted it, that's how you know it's good.

>>14702606
is there an online place to find these?

>>14702612
I don't know. The closest term I can find for this specific type is "charity cookbook" since they're usually made as a fundraiser for things, I guess. I pulled that image off ebay. I've got one lying around somewhere, I'll try and dig it out and scan some of the more interesting stuff in it if I can find it.

>>14702751
Nah, been knitting and crocheting since I was little.

>>14702758
>since I was little.
in the 1950s

>>14702762
Close. 41 so the 80s.

>>14695563
I like the old farm journal ones though I don't cook from them often and the art of fermentation.

god tier

Everything I know about baking I learned from Stella Parks

>>14701922
In this case, the useful cookbooks are from 1938 and earlier, prior to ubiquitous industrial processing of foods.
Ideally they will include tips on how to skin and dress small game.
So basically, the old editions of Joy of Cooking.

can someanon post a link to that huge mega cookbook collection
I've lost it
thanks

>>14702606
