Sometimes, extra recipes can be found in old cookbooks, like this recipe for biscuits in Nana's 1943 cookbook. Handwritten recipes can take us back to the past and also give a glimpse into the cook's style and know-how. 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

This might work if you're looking for something different for a dessert. 1965 brings us Fruit Cup with Baked Alaska topping. I may tuck this one away for a nice Summer berry dessert. What do you think of, Melon Frascati? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay

It's barely 10 AM, and I'm ready for a drink. I think this recipe from 1975 @joyofcooking.bsky.social counts as a breakfast drink since it contains Maple 🍁 syrup. What do you think of this Rum concoction? 🍽️ 🍜 #FoodSky #Cooking #Recipes #RecipeOfTheDay
