Vintage Recipes - Archiving nostalgic recipes from cookbooks, handwritten notes, advertisements, etc - Lemmy.world
lemmy.world
external-link
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.

      Does “tiny sublemmy of the day” exist anywhere yet? Might be a good way to discover and grow small communities.

        If it does a random sampling, 90% will be various combinations of yiff, anime, trans, femboys, and obnoxiously breasted women. There’s gotta be some curation in the lemmysphere for that to work.

            Imagine making out with someone and out of nowhere their tits are just like “You know, you should call your mother. Also the grass needs mowing.” Then they go park their car across two handicapped spaces even though they don’t have the little mirror hangy thing.

              Well, you see, this is remedied by partnering with people in the itty bitty titty committee. Neither of us are obnoxiously breasted as a result. Real-life Ds and beyond are their own pain in the ass, I can’t imagine trying to be an anime character with the physics-defying shenanigans.

              Tl;dr: our tits don’t double park the car <3

      I can’t believe no one has mentioned Max Miller with Tasting History on Youtube. His videos are great, covering not just what was going into the recipe, but the historical context as well. https://www.youtube.com/@TastingHistory

      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.

      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.
