For the past year, I've been holding on to a copy of Grammy's cookbook, a 1942 copy of "The Pocket Cookbook". It's quite fragile, almost 70 years later; I wasn't entirely sure how to scan it without it completely falling to bits.
As suggested by one of my siblings, we decided to photograph the recipes in the book. You'll be seeing a few recipes over the next few months that look like the above photograph.
We love, by the way, that Chapter 9 is called "Penny Stretchers"
This site catalogs the recipes found in Grammy Gertie's prized recipe box (which she graciously let me borrow, a few sections at a time). Grammy Gertie currently lives in Pittsfield, MA. She doesn't cook much anymore, but still enjoys her embroidery and piano music.
