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/...ml/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

"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.
