Vintage cookbooks
As I have posted numerous times about food and drink, it may come as no surprise that I enjoy that part of life. And being a designer here at AbeBooks, I also appreciate the visual. So when the two collide it’s a marvelous thing…
There is a wonderful Flickr pool of vintage cookbooks. It really is a treat to see all the designs and recipes of days gone by. The style both in terms of the food, the preparation, the ingredients, and the designs all evoke that retro feel.
Now will future chefs and collectors look upon our contemporary glossy, food-porn styled books and molecular gastronomy with that same amusement? Very likely.
