Vintage Recipes - Archiving nostalgic recipes from cookbooks, handwritten notes, advertisements, etc - Lemmy.world
lemmy.world
A community for sharing favorite vintage and nostalgic recipes from years past. The goal of this community is to preserve our favorite dishes and share them with the world so that they don’t go extinct just because they’re not in the culinary zeitgeist. Please tag your recipe titles with [RECIPE]. Be sure to include the dish name and it’s creator (person or business) in the title for easier searching. Please include the date the recipe was published, if possible. Sharing a video? Tag it with [VIDEO]. All requests should be tagged with [REQUEST]. Before you post, make sure someone hasn’t already requested the same recipe! No recipe blog spam! You can link to a personal blog in the comments, but please include the recipe itself in your post. Any post URLs should point to the actual recipe (website, image host, etc.) and not just serve as an advertisement to drive up clicks for your site. We here in Vintage Recipes believe that information should be freely available. We learn by observing and analyzing what has come before. We do not believe in secrets, and we do not believe that old methods should be forgotten.

      Townsend does a lot of Colonial meals from that era of the United States. That’s about all I got for you.

        Make sure to find other sources before believing anything he says. He repeats a lot of “conventional wisdom” and truthisms that aren’t actually accurate. He also has a pro-christian and whitewashed bias to his retelling of some things. I’d describe his channel more as historically inspired cosplay as opposed to retelling documented historical facts.

          Yeah, he’s not the best source for information of any kind really, good production values though. All you need is a slick production and people will eat up anything you say.

          I agree completely, although OP just asked for channels featuring old cooking recipes, and that is all I recommend Townsend for.

      It’s a little different, more historical content than “vintage” but Tasing History is a great YouTube channel

      Look up Dylan Hollis! He’s on YouTube and tests old recipes - be warned, he brings a LOT of personality lol. I really enjoy his videos and just picked up his cookbook, Baking Yesteryear.

      Glen and Friends Cooking does a lot of recipes from old cook books. He also does cocktails from old bartending books, if that’s your thing. He has a very warm and welcoming charm that makes for a pleasant and relaxing viewing experience.
