KK: I LOVE my OLD cookbook collection. I have many (too many) little pamphlets that were given away over 100 years ago. The value of these little booklets has dropped off quite a bit but, the art work in some of them is unreal. I wish I knew how to post photos I would be glad to share some of them. A company named Rumford (baking powder) published many BEAUTIFUL booklets, and Jell-o also has MANY beautiful examples. The word RECEIPT only occurs in the REALLY early examples.
I'm thining MORE GOODER got me!!! I gave up on cooking just for me. My kids hate everyting I cook...EWWW WHAT THIS...it's all I here...fine eat your cereal! I'M DONE!
I also have old old cook books. I have one with a fantastic Boston Cream pie sponge cake receipt. It uses EIGHTEEN eggs. Talk about a jolt of cholesterol. Very good though.

ReplyDeleteSurprise, Surprise. RECEIPT is correct. If you were to discover VERY old cookbooks you will find they WERE called Receipts.
I have many examples. One would be a tiny booklet titles "Ransoms Receipts" from the late 1800s

6. A formulary according to the directions of which things are to be taken or combined; a recipe; as, a receipt for making sponge cake.
I had to look pretty hard to find this. All the other online dictionaries have removed this historical reference.
