The American Woman’s Cook Book (1942), is a beloved classic cookbook that guides home cooks with recipes from hearty entrees and side dishes to food preservation, baked goods, and more! This vintage cookbook, compiled by Ruth Berolzheimer and published by the Culinary Arts Institute, helps home cooks preserve culinary practices of the 1940’s with simple, scratch-made food. This book quickly became a household staple, cherished for its clear instructions, tips, and reliable recipes.

This cookbook was passed down to me from my Nana. She gave me this cookbook and said “my dream for you is to someday open your own bakery and here is some inspiration to guide you along” (tears welling as I write this). I’ve now owned my own specialty bakery for the last 12+ years. I was lucky she was able to see my open it before she passed a few years ago.

Here are some original vintage recipe clips for cakes and frosting.

Soft Molasses Cookies Recipe Remake

Old Fashioned Molasses Cookies blend warm spices and spicy molasses and yield a soft tender, cake-like texture from the buttermilk. My vintage inspiration for this recipe is passed down from my Nana, from an original recipe for soft molasses cookies. I’ve included one of my favorite original recipes for soft molasses cookies that has my Nan’s handwritten note: “Excellent” with her initials.
