I love books and books on cookery rank very high with me. What better way to research and discover 1950s cooking than by finding the cookbooks used during that time? Of course, many have been updated since the fifties. But be it an original or new edition, many of the same recipes and pictures are included. My tips: try the local library first and see what they have! The next step is to browse amazon or ebay and see if you can't find an original printing of the following books at a good price.
