Title: Take a walk through time with recipes
Review: This is a fun and interesting collection of recipes, it's like taking a walk through memory lane with recipes. There are some I haven't seen in years and some I have already since **cough, cough** I'm an older person. The pictures are so crisp I just want to eat them. The instructions are clear and easy, it would be nice to have the nutritional stats. I can't wait to try the meatloaf recipe and the tv dinner brownies this weekend, I never can find a recipe for meatloaf that doesn't use ketchup, I like brown/mushroom gravy best...yum!

Title: Great!
Review: I really like this old fashioned cookbook. It takes you through the many different years from 1910-1990âs. I like that it has a little story with each chapter. There is recipes for everything from salads to desserts. This book gives you calories per serving as well. A colorful picture with a short description on each page. Love this cookbook!!

Title: A Walk Through the 20th Century in Food
Review: Overall, there are some recipes that I remember, since I've lived through more than half of those eras. But there's quite a few that I don't remember being popular. However, there were enough recipes that I can't wait to try to make and those I bookmarked. I loved the little excerpts of info for each decade. Lots of memories. The only objection was that some of the recipes give a list of ingredients but no amounts. So for things like a cake, without knowing how much flour or eggs or sugar, how can you make it without a lot of experimentation? Needless to say, it'll never be made. By all means, give it a try.

You, Me, and all the people who survived the cultural changes and the adaptation we have had to make. We all know, food is a necessity, though taken for granted, but do you know foods history? You should because taste, smell and ingredients may be the same , the preparation and focus of the dish has definitely molded to ours, this book slows us down enough to understand that our choices and decisions made for us, have made an impact on how we prepare, cook, eat and appreciate food as it has been our staple throughout our history and most memorable moments.5 of 10ð¥ Display8 of 10 ð¥Recipe Instructions10 of 10ð¥ Reminder that, though life changes daily, being aware of the multitude of diverse interests, food has always been there. Food has a life, ours, so preparation effects us all.

Title: Poor quality pictures
Review: I returned this item because it looked like it came off of a copier and recipes were just listed underneath the picture. Very poor quality. Not worthy of keeping on my shelf.

Title: Interesting recipes
Review: There is one recipe that the ingredients don't match the recipe. The early recipes don't have amounts for the ingredients, but that's how my grandmother cooked so it is accurate.
