1/2 My latest vintage cookbook find from Friends of the library donations. Available only to Good Housekeeping Magazine subscribers circa 1930. I’m especially interested in the #vintage#cookbookaweek#recipes#whatscooking

Well-worn orange & white striped book cover of Meals: Tested,Tasted and Approved by Good Housekeeping Institute 1930
Table of contents from Meals: Tested, Tasted and approved broken out into multiple chapters including one on sandwiches & sauces. There’s even one for Table Etiquette for a formal dinner.
Page from cookie recipe section with recipes for Crisp Oatmeal, Peanut Macaroons and Sand Tarts. Never heard of that one before.

2/2 There is an entire section on the Etiquette of Service. Their formal dinner party had 5 pages of instructions with a reference to your butler greeting guests at the door! Check out the list of necessary table accessories. Real Downton Abbey vibes.

Page 2 of Etiquette of Service including instructions for your butler!
Page 2 tells you when & how to enter dining room & how to set table. The butler ( or host) of course, announces “Dinner is served.”
A complete list of necessary table setting items, including linens, silver and china. Don’t forget the finger bowls and Demi-Tass spoons!
