About Edna May & Vintage Recipe Press
I’ve spent a lifetime collecting cookbooks, fascinated by what families really put on the table in decades gone by. My shelves are bursting with over 2,000 vintage cookbooks, each one a treasure trove of recipes and stories from real kitchens of the past.From handwritten notes in the margins to well-worn pages stained with love, I believe these books tell us more than just how to cook—they give us a glimpse into history. What did families make for Sunday dinner? What desserts were saved for special occasions? How did home cooks make magic out of simple, affordable ingredients?I cook from these books regularly, bringing forgotten recipes back to life and sharing the dishes that once graced vintage tables. I created Vintage Recipe Press to share every gem I've discovered with you. Here, you’ll find meals that are comforting, resourceful, and timeless—just like the cooks who created them.So pull up a chair, pour a cup of coffee, and join me in celebrating the charm, ingenuity, and deliciousness of retro cooking.
