Cookbooks are more than just recipes
Cookbooks were created to pass off knowledge from one generation to the next. This included recipes and household tips needed to keep a home. In the past, cookbooks were a great way to pass the values of the home down to the family members. Cookbook writing was not for sale but usually written in personal journals. Cookbooks were much more than just recipes.
I have often talked about my mother and her buying fruits and vegetables at the market when I was growing up. She would buy things by the bushel basket that she would can. Her frugal-ness is a value that can be part of my family cookbook and there several ways to included it…
1) by including those recipes where those products were used
2) how to choose those fruits and vegetables that are ideal for canning
3) writing the story about eating those things that were included in the recipes.
