This vintage recipe is from Let’s Have a Barbecue. The recipe is a bit sparse on details such as what to marinade it in, but I assume their Easy Beef Marinade would be a safe bet. Select a beef pot roast 2 inches or more thick  and marinade overnight in the refrigerator. Wrap roast securely [...]

This tasty treat is from the 1959 Kenmore Automatic Electric Fry Pan Recipe Book. Nothing like a couple cups of coffee, bread, and something green with onion slices on top to go with your tangy beef goulash! And as it says, “Men, especially, love this dish!” As I mentioned in the review for the Kenmore Automatic Electric [...]

Mmmmm… Meat Cookies!  This recipe for Sanbusek, aka Meat Cookies, (actually, it is more of a turnover) is from Cooking With A Foreign Accent, published in 1952 by Sunset Publishing. The recipe is part of their Lebanese Dinner Recipe section, and sounds very tasty.  Almost like a basic Cornish Pasty minus the potato. Tiny turnovers, filled [...]

Watch out Big Mac & Whopper, here comes the Pyramid Burger!  This recipe comes from the 1963 Guide to Better Cookouts and I can not wait to make one!  (Not sure how you’d eat it though…) Pat out three sizes of meat patties–large, medium and midget. Grill them to order–rare, medium-rare, or medium. Then stack [...]

This recipe comes from the 1948 Watkins Cook Book which is filled with tantalizing vintage recipes. 2 pounds round steak 2 cups cooked spaghetti or 1 cup cooked rice 1/4 cup bacon fat 1 teaspoon Watkins Chili Powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 can tomatoes 1/2 can corn 1 onion, chopped Salt and Watkins Pepper to [...]

This recipe comes from Mrs. Beeton’s All About Cookery which was published in England in 1961. It is a little more “extravagant” than what some consider “traditional” Cornish Pasties since it has herbs and gravy.  Plus it only has a 1/2 teaspoon of onion?  That is crazy talk!  I love the description for the pastry [...]
