All of these cookbooks are books in my collection that don’t say when they were published. I use the advertisements (if any) and the contributors to guess at the year; sometimes, I’ll also use online newspaper databases to find mentions of the organization and, if I’m lucky, of their recently-published or soon-to-be-published cookbook. For more information see Using search engines to guess cookbook years.

You can click on a header to sort by that column. And if you know the actual year any of these books were published, please write me at queriesci32x4, at hoboes.com.

There is something very satisfying about sitting down in a cozy kitchen with a cup of tea and a cookbook from a prior age; perhaps it is the feeling that cooks can still talk to each other, and their feelings and tastes can cross the centuries. — Mary Barile (Review: Cookbooks Worth Collecting)
