Vintage cookbook & Vintage recipes

Another of my vintage cookbooks I bought.

This one was all typed.

Some interesting recipes in this cook.

Lots of recipes that called for cans of cream of mushroom and cream or canned food items.

Might tell you what era the recipes were made in.

There are quite a few good recipes in this book.
