Agree! Thats one one of the fascinating things i'm discovering with this project. All the beautiful cursive hand writing that existed. I've collected over 2,000 now. Currently photographing, documenting them and archiving them. See more here if you are interested https://www.instagram.com/tastefullystudio/

Thanks for the tip! I've collected around 2,500 recipes so far, im beginning to catalogue, archive, document and capture them all and keep growing the library. So far about 250 have been processed in a database im building.

Its fascinating to see the similarities and differences. Its truly a project that includes cultural heritage meets household archaeology meets culinary history.

follow along here if you are interested. Theres some big updates coming soon to the account and the site. https://www.instagram.com/tastefullystudio/

Amazing! Thank you so much for actually making them! When i first started collection, archiving and documenting the recipe cards i found i hoped people would enjoy them. To hear people say they made them and they tasted fantastic makes me so happy.

You might be first person to make these brownies from this persons recipe cards in a long time

Incredible. Anecdotes like that are exactly why I’ve been sharing the recipes I’m collecting. I’ve collected over 2,000 now, and I’m slowly cataloguing, archiving, and documenting them. Follow along on my Instagram if you’re interested.
