This cookbook is the most practical, down to earth guide to cooking that may now be available. What a pity it's no longer being reprinted, but with a little patience, one can still find good used copies. The back section includes "wartime cookery" and shows how to make do with limited or restricted ingredients--fascinating for its historical aspect as well as still being a useful guide. Over many years of marriage, I've given my wife (and she has bought for herself) many general and specialty cook books, but this one remains her favorite.

Old School Cuisine
This book was originally written in the late 1930's and is an excellent reference text as well as a cookbook. This is stick-to-the ribs cooking at it's best, just like Grandma make, if your Grandpa was lucky. Most chapters begin with a lecture, as it were, on the basics of the topic at hand. Sections on baking and meat preparation are especially informative and almost seem to assume that you will be grinding your own flour and killing your own chickens. In an era of sometimes too high cuisine, this text will present you with fabulous and strictly all-American flavors and techniques which are quickly being forgotten. The dessert section is quite good.
