Proud of this
>>22072329Good thread idea. I have nothing to contribute but this bump
>>22072329this is the only cook book i own
>>22072329owning a cookbook is embarrassing all on it's own.
I've got a cookbook for French cuisine from the Japanese side of the family. My aunt died and left me the book. It's embarrassing because I can't read Japanese. : (
This garbage book. Got it years ago from a family member so it stays on the bookshelf in case they visit, but my god it's insufferable. A random recipe:CHOCOLATE FUDGE POPS“Fuck the ice cream man and his unpredictable schedule. Stash these in your freezer and you can have pops on demand all summer long.”MAKES ABOUT 3½ CUPS FILLING, WHICH MAKES 12 POPS IN A STANDARD MOLD BUT VARIES DEPENDING ON WHATEVER FUCKING MOLD YOU USE1 Warm up the milk on the stovetop or in the microwave so that it is warm but not super fucking hot. Next you need to melt the chocolate. You can melt it either by slowly heating it in the microwave in 15-second increments and stirring until it is melted—OR you build a double boiler like a fucking boss. Grab a medium saucepan and fill it with 1 or 2 inches of water. Throw an all-metal bowl on top of that and make sure the whole mouth of the pan is covered and that the water inside isn’t touching the bottom of the bowl. Put this over medium-low heat and pour the chocolate chips into the bowl. The steam will heat the bowl and melt the chips, just keep stirring the chocolate and fucking trust the method. When the chocolate looks all smooth, turn off the heat. This whole process should take about 3 minutes.2 Once the chocolate is melted, add it, the milk, and the tofu to a blender and mix that shit up. Make sure everything is well combined and there are no secret chocolate chunks hiding out. Pour this into your molds, stick them in the freezer for about 40 minutes. At this point, take out your pop molds and then push the sticks in. Freezing these motherfuckers a little bit first helps make sure you won’t push the stick so far in that you end up with some sadness kabob. Freeze until hard.
Does anyone have the "Restaurant From Another World" Cookbook? I want to have that as my embarassing book, but I would need to buy it first. How is it?
>>22072378Lad, this simply isn't true. Cooking can be a lot like playing a musical instrument. You can learn a lot on your own, but the best way to learn new techniques is to replicate other written pieces/recipes. While you might come up with a single unique recipe, decent cookbooks combine trillions of other people's knowledge from mistakes.your post is cringe
>>22072410Ask me how I know you're a filthy, can't-cook-for-shit anglo-cultured cunt, birthed by a fat, slovenly hippotwatamus who also can't cook for shit? People who can cook generally picked up the skill from watching a parent who can cook.All the same, >>22072378 is a fucknugget who likely eats ready-meals. I was just pointing out that cookbooks are absolutely not "the best way to learn new techniques".
>>22072417What are you looking to prove here? I think you probably own the most embarassing cookbooks in the thread. You're giving off thirdie vibes with your bad attitude. And considering you specifically target anglos, you probably ARE a thirdie living in the west. Hope you stay safe in the coming days, anon... haha! neways, picrel is you
>>22072427You can't cook and are not very smart.
>>22072428Thirdie confirmed. Let me guess, peanut butter and jam sandwiches trigger you?
>>22072410>Lad, this simply isn't trueit is.you think wrong.if you can't learn how to cook by just watching others do it then you have a mental deficiency.>>22072417>is a fucknuggetdang, anon.tell me how you really feel.
I collect them and have all kinds from all eras. Most aren’t embarrassing. I have some pretty lame diet books I got cheap from thrift stores.
>>22072431So dumb. >>22072436>tell me how you really feelHard and muscle-y.
I have an old McDougal from the early 90s somewhere. So it was weird to see he lasted so long.
I have lots of regional church cookbooks from the last 50 years too.
I don’t much like sweets but I just liked the look of this one.I have dozens of really cool ones in storage. And all my chef school textbooks and binders full of school recipes and recipes I secretly photocopied from restaurants I worked at early in my career.
This one’s older than me. Quite a few are.
>>22072453>Naftalin Yehud.
Lots of weird old typewritten ladies club collections like this. Churches and granges have the same style.
Look how easy Krazy Kake is. Likely some Depression Era cake.
I love the art in old 50s housewife books like this.
Hot apples with chocolate. Seems like that never caught on for a reason.
>>22072417Ok cooklet
>>22072516You know what.. I can see shredded wheat in the background! I think you might be right!
>>22072465what does CWI stand for in this context?
>>22072630See >>22072456, you unobservant clod
>>22072448Ah, all those 100 PERCENT working final fat destroying diets, of which there has been a new one each year for decades.
>>22072465if it was depression era you wouldn't be able to afford sugar, and cocoa. also why does the krazy kake reference vinegar when that is not in the ingredient list... and don't say it's "krazy".
>>22072468>>22072469>>22072470>>22072473damn those must have been happy times.
>>22072329never thought of a cookbook as "embarrassing". no I don't have anything like that. I got rid of 90% of the cookbooks I have been given over the years because I found I was not using them once I learned how to cook.now the only cookbooks I might ever reference are the old betty crocker, or better homes and garden books I have from the 50's or 60's.
>>22072670i would not eat the top left
>>22072388I got this AND its sequel and yeah, it's insufferable. A couple of the recipes are tasty enough for Vegan bullshit, but the faux-aggression is so stupidly tiring.
>>22072329I used to have the EM EL PEE baking cookbook on pdf, I'm sure I could find it online too but no posting here. I think I recently deleted it actually cause the whole drive had to be wiped. Made a handful of things out of it, don't remember much.
>>22072519We'll you're a low Testosterone, low IQ sissy so yeah
wait. People actually buy those things? You have the internet ffs. And youtube. And now ChatGPT.
>>22072329Fuck you just Know she does anal
>>22072770Most people have some form of income and have something called Disposable Income, bud. Plus, you can get 90% of books second hand for way cheaper. Also, being away from a computer/phone is very nice, anon.
probably salt fat acid heat, it's a shit book for retards who have a toddler's level of understanding of cookery
>22072417>22072518Salient examples of willful stupidity
>>22072417>>22072518Salient examples of willful stupidity>22072792ftfy
>22072792I fail to see what's stupid about saying you learn more from watching family who can cook than from looking at book pages. That's just a fact, pure and simple.
>>22072781Wow pardon me! I didn't realize I was among Rockefellers. Maybe one day I, too, will have enough money to afford a cookbook and also be smart enough to buy one.
My mother in law gave me this. I made a few recipes.
>>22072905Are either of you greasy wop degos who can't pronounce your own surnames correctly?
>>22072924EY OH !
>>22072770>>22072781Considering how many online recipes are glorified blogposts with what I swear is intentionally made wrong recipes I'll roll my dice on a cookbook. At least anyone willing to go through the effort of getting a book published at least has some degree of genuine interest in cooking.
>>22072518i just wanted to share the cook book i own.
>>22072630Cooked While Intoxicated
>>22072902Hopefully soon you’ll be smart enough to know people alive now were alive before the internet, and may have accumulated things before the internet was dependable. AlsoShiggy using cgpt unless you’re already good at cooking lol
>>22072969Books published before social media celebrities were pet dependable as well
>>22072417Buzzword buzzword buzzword, expletive, buzzword buzzword buzzword.Jeez, no wonder you turn to /ck/ for validation. No sane person irl could possibly stand to be near you if this is the language of your internal monologue (if you even have one...)
>>22073008Well you shouldn't
>>22073062>t. cummy boo-boo Go eat your skettis and butter, fatso.
>>22072329Nah, that would be far too embarrassing.
>>22072337I'm a film producer, I think the man on that cookbook would make a good action movie star.
>>22072388>>22072706I love the Man Compensation ones. It reminds me that there are millions if not billions of men out there who need to be reminded of how manly they are at any given time.
>>22073926You're glowing haha
>>22073499Yeah.
>>22072452can you post the recipe the cover is made from? it looks really interesting. is it like a macaroon shell?
>>22074265Yes you do.They can’t take mine down.
>>22074267>They can’t take mine down.Why not?
Did that BITCH just cover leaves and a carrot in chocolate?
>>22072329Found this in a thrift store
>>22075400Nice. What's inside?
This is from a fancy private school in Charlotte I don’t know why I have it; I went to public school
