    Where’s the personal story before the recipe? Where are the ads and the unnecessarily large images of the finished product? /s

    That hot currant breakfast bread is similar to a black currant banana bread I make today:

    3 ripe bananas
    60g melted butter (1/4 cup or 1/2 a stick)
    150g sugar (2/3 cup)
    200g unbleached flour (1 1/4 cups)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 egg, beaten
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    150g of fresh or frozen blackcurrants (without defreezing before use) (1 1/2 cups)

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C)
    Mash the bananas in a bowl
    Add the egg and butter
    Put all the dry ingredients together into a fine mesh sieve or sifter and sift into the bowl
    Mix well with a wooden spoon
    Bake in a buttered loaf pan until a toothpick stuck into the bread comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
    Slice and serve.

    Also good: 1/2 black currants, 1/2 dried cranberries. The trick with using any dried fruit is you want to soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before using or they’ll soak all the moisture out of your bread.

        Thanks! That’s just a small section, I blame my grandmother who left me her dutch oven from the 1950s (center, loop handle).

        Then I found an outlet store and it was all downhill from there! ;) No, seriously, they send 30%+ coupons off all the time.

    I think my parents have a copy of this (or something that looks very similar)! Not sure anyone’s actually made anything from it, though. Really unique design.

    This reminds me of the YouTube channel Tasting History with Max Miller.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Just googling, wasn’t able to find a complete scan of all the contents, but lots of copies of the book ranging from $25 to $150.

    I’m vegetarian, so I’m curious: are there any interesting vegetarian main-course dishes in there? Maybe something that’s been forgotten or is unusual?
