I have two cookbooks from my mom. They have her handwritten notes amending or commenting on recipes. They are a north Jersey Jewish Guild Cookbook, and a Jewish Cookboock (So Eat My Darling..) Given that she was working school teacher, most of her notes dealt with shortcuts that allowed for quicker cooking. I remember, for example, that she made a sausage with potatos, onions and peppers in tomato sauce thing. Her short cut was to use frozen french fries, rather than cook potatoes from scratch.
I love using those cookbooks. I also am fond of the Fannie Farmer Cookbook, which she also used. It's a great place to go for a "basic" recipe. I confess, however, the internet is pretty cool for getting great recipes. Will my mom's handwritten notes migrate to the internet? LOL.
