FREE 1937 Searchlight Recipe (Cook) Book

[Vintage Betty]

Up for grabs, one Vintage 1937 Searchlight Recipe (Cook) Book, reprinted edition. No resellers please. I am giving this item away to Loungers for your own use from my personal collection.

Anyone can enter to win this BEAUTIFUL Recipe Book, and here's how:

You simply need to post a PHOTO and a RECIPE of **Any dish** for any meal circa 1920 - 1950.

You can find many recipes online, or by going to the library. Please, no boiled eggs and no pancakes. I'm looking for something to make me ruin my diet!

You must post your photo and recipe by October 7. Due to weight of book, I am limiting entries to US Addresses.

After that date, I will have a drawing for the winner.

Good luck!

Vintage Betty
PS: I cleaned up the cover after I scanned this. It now looks better.

will a family BBQ sauce recipe from the depression count?

I also have a killer breakfast item that when described peeps kinda turn their nose up, but when it hits the plate, there is NEVER any left

 

[Vintage Betty]

Yes, homemade sauces, jams, etc. count!

As long as it's homemade and I can eat it, it counts!

I make home made jam myself. Yummmmmm....

Remember the photo!

I tried making Cocoa Bread Crumb Cookies out of my 1934 Hershey's Cookbook (reprint) but they were a semi bust. they didn't turn out the way the book said, but Hubby and the Girls liked them anyway. I thought they were eh. I'll try another recipe soon

lol lol lol lol

I haven't made cookies in years!

If you ever have a "Tell Your Best or Worst Cooking Stories" contest, I have a couple winners from when my father worked in the bakery of the downtown Los Angeles Newberry's back in the '50s. One involves lemon merinque pies without sugar and the other is a tragicomic tale of a multi-tiered wedding cake. lol

This reminded me of when I was working in a bakery when I was 16. I had a mother/daughter duo who spent litereally hours giving me the most elaborate wedding cake order and I was so glad to see them leave--until I realized I didn't get several pertinent pieces of information from them. I ended up having to call the country club where the cake was to be delivered and beg the event manager to give me their phone number. He only relented after I started crying--one of the only times in my life I've played that particular card. I laugh now, but at the time it was awful.

Oh no! I've worked retail and feel your pain.

Searchlight Recipe???

Searchlight Soufflé
---------------------

1 large searchlight
550 cups all purpose flour
200 cups sugar
70 cups cocoa powder
25 dozen eggs

Preheat searchlight to 425°F. Disable oscillating mechanism; point straight up.
In a small portable swimming pool, combine eggs, sugar, cocoa and flour. Blend well.
Wearing dark goggles, spread mixture evenly on lens of searchlight using a rubber spatula or canoe paddle.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until soufflé rises 18 inches above lens.
Serves, oh, a whole bunch.

These Army Reservists at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, invented Searchlight Soufflé during weekend maneuvers in 1951, when the final training mission ran too long for mess sergeant "Dutch" Droste (at center, crouched over electric mixer) to make his famous Blackout Cake for the unit. The chow hall was phoned, the ingredients delivered and the soufflé made right in the field.

May I request a day or two extension on this? I'm going to a wedding in about 2.5 hours and I wasn't able to get my act together in time to cook something up. :/
