Title A name given to the resource RCA0003 - VTG LG Wood Recipe Box Dove Tail w/Metal Hinges Full Of Recipes & Handwritten Subject The topic of the resource Cooking Recipe Cards Description An account of the resource This is a collection I found on eBay that turned out to have a lot of really interesting aspects to it. Some of the cards had the 'recipe from the kitchen of' filled in with names and even dates which gives a ton of history and context. Additionally, this collection had some interesting nuances. Firstly, there was one card (0015 - Molded Ambrosia) where the instructions on the rear of the card were partly documented with some kind of short hand. I was not able to decipher the short hand, but with AI help, I was able to suss out the instructions. Additionally, there are a number of repeated recipes in the collection. This hints at a few possibilities. The two main ideas to me are either recipes were requested from the original cooks more than once, or more than one collection was combined over time. 0005, 0031, and 0032 are great examples of this. Two of the recipes (0005 and 0031) are for 'Corn Cakes' and note that the recipe is from Edna Fausz. Edna is also mentioned on a recipe (0032) for 'Cloud Light Pancakes' which shows as being from the kitchen of Alice Gall. This seems to imply that for 'Cloud Light Pancakes' Alice got the recipe from Edna originally, wrote it down and applied her label and then sent the card to Paula. The other two (0005/0031) were also originally from Edna and sent by way of Alice to Paula. These links are what make these collections so much more than just the recipes.
