SWEET POTATO VOLCANOES! Vintage Cookbook Review and Recipes - Cooking the Books

[@cooking_the_books]

Would you like to see these Sweet Potato Volcanoes on your Thanksgiving table? Also, where can I buy some butter dots? Let me know in the comments!

[@shaunamills5655]

Yes please, I also collect vintage cookbooks and pamphlets from the featured products. But my husband laughs when he tells me he is not a fan of your channel because my collection has grown. He’s kidding of course because he’s just as interested in the recipes and where you find them as I am. Ha ha ha. Please keep them coming Oh yes and invite Dolly into more of your videos please.😊🍽️🥣🍳🧈

[@TuckerSP2011]

You're onto something with butter dots!

[@staciaharris153]

I’m thinking you could just grate some cold butter instead of scooping dots?

[@buckonono7996]

So much fun! BTW I really enjoy the bongos at the beginning - Perfect for the eras you cover. I will SO be making these little volcanos - delish!

[@Hameesha]

Cookbooks are always so nice and love then so much, miss all these so much..

[@cooking_the_books]

Thanks for watching!

[@CookingWithNeighbors]

Lol easy hots lol. Hi Anna. Enjoying

[@dannyfox4156]

Just a thought, back in the day, the cookbooks recognised that a lot of the time, the books were given to first time cooks which included the newlywed. So they where often geared that way. And depending on the date of the book, reflects the economy of the times and fold trends. Which I think makes the vintage books even more fun!!!

[@pammienakh]

Anything with sweet potatoes is GOOD!

[@lorilxn1597]

Fold top of piping bag until it's about halfway down, then fill the bag. It also keeps the filling from seeping out the top. Learned that from making tons of cakes.

[@daughteroftheblackmadonna8936]

Yes! That’s the way!

[@debbieblaylock9997]

That the year I was born I love seeing what thay had to eat back then

[@kimbee3083]

I have never tasted a green bean or sweet potato casserole, not a thing in Canada but I would certainly try it!😊

[@Orpilorp]

I love vintage cookbooks as well. I like your style. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you for checking out my videos! Vintage cookbooks are so much fun, and I've had a really great time connecting with others who also love them. ♥

[@MealsofFoodies]

WOW..Excellent recipe

[@cooking_the_books]

Thanks!

[@taikiskitchen8174]

Hello cooking the books(^^ You have a nice video showing you cooking food. And I love poteto dish! I would love to try it! I think it's very delicious

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you so much 😊

[@kurikokaleidoscope]

Thanks for the great episode.

[@cooking_the_books]

Thanks for watching!

[@CoffeeWithPips]

Now this is super cool, I'm showing my wife and asking her to include the sweet potato volcanoes in her meal lineup. We always have sweet potatos, this just makes them even better! Very nice!!!

[@cooking_the_books]

They were even better as leftovers! I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have used so much liquid when mashing my sweet potatoes. I think they would have stayed together a little bit better.

[@CoffeeWithPips]

@@cooking_the_books bet they were great leftovers, sounds so good. I don't think you used too much liquid, they looked pretty perfect to me.

[@daughteroftheblackmadonna8936]

Dottie is adorable. 😊

[@TheSillyKitchenwithSylvia]

Those are SO fun!

[@cooking_the_books]

Thanks! I'll eat any food with Volcano in the name 😆

[@zaikakitchensupport5406]

I really love the way you cook, I can see how much love and affection u put while cooking ...Delicious....👌🏻please stay connected 🌹💕

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you so much

[@pamchamberlin6703]

Cuff the top of the piping bag way down before filling. I learned that years ago from my cake-decorating mom.

[@EverythingShakes]

That's awesome!

[@cooking_the_books]

Thanks!

[@RhubarbAndCod]

It's books like these that really make you cry a little that great illustration is no longer a part of the whole cookbook scene. It's not that modern books aren't beautiful, but it was such a stylistic staple of this era over a long span of time that now seems lost to the ages. Ah well. I feel like my name was invoked frequently in this era of recipes, but really, my carrots are just basic?? Is this a read? Boooo. You should have totally tried some coconut in this! Follow your instincts Anna! And trust your piping! These look like they'd be so tasty! Another outstanding video my friend.

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you!! You are so right! My next video covers a cookbook from 1980, and the differences in language and the photos/illustrations are huge. Much less whimsical. When I saw those carrots, I immediately thought "Susan would make much more interesting carrots than these!" At least the bunny was cute! 🐰

[@RhubarbAndCod]

@@cooking_the_books The bunny was awesome... I swear, I'll do better by carrots and Susans everywhere.

[@alexandriaspann8194]

when using Piping bags roll the tops of the bags down filling will be a little easier you can also use zip loc type bags just fill zip shut clip the corner off and squeeze you can wash them and reuse... keep making videos loving them

[@brendakrieger7000]

Kidney Bean Sophisticate sounds delightful. I thought I was weird for my love of kidney beans😂

[@cooking_the_books]

There were so many fun veggie recipes in this one!

[@HollyVirgil-g6x]

You can omit the pineapple and add an egg instead. Then I pipe them into stars and then freeze or bake

[@Daily_englishpratice]

Good sharing

[@cooking_the_books]

Many thanks!

[@eathomelive]

Try a sweet potato strusel. SO good. Still a sweeter dish, but not marshmallows. It kind of takes sweet potoatoes up a notch.

[@suea538]

looks great - tip: pipe sweet potatoes into greased muffin tins - make it easier to take out.

[@IntheKitchenwithKaren]

I love this cute veggie cookbook. Frozen French fries as a recipe. I can dig it 🤣🤣. I just love the way they did the descriptions❤️. Man style 🤣. And who doesn’t love a sophisticated kidney bean🤣. I thought the sweet potato volcanoes were very creative. I agree.. I’m not sure I’d like pineapple in it.

[@cooking_the_books]

The pineapple eventually grew on me, but I think it would have been even better with coconut! It ended up being tasty, even if my volcanoes were a little flat. 😂

[@sliceoflife7416]

Hi Anna😊 I think these look great! The pineapple seems a bit different but otherwise … YUM. Thanks for sharing another fun vintage recipe🌸💕😊

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you! The pineapple was a little weird at first, but I really ended up liking it. These made great leftovers, too!

[@emily--m]

You are too cute. Broiled bacon would start the house on fire 🚒. Definitely would get those good looking fireman at my house 😉

[@viktoriiasbeauty]

First of all, I love your background! You look so cute😍 And this vintage recipe sounds so unique and yummy 😋

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you! These really did turn out to be delicious.

[@irenedennis1003]

If you fold the top of the piping bag down, it makes it a lot easier to fill.

[@ralphjenkins1507]

Yummy!

[@CookingWithNeighbors]

I bet with the pineapple it would be great. They are adorable is right. Lol love the doggie walk. I liked the review on it at the end. 🤗

[@cooking_the_books]

Even though I wasn't sure at first, the pineapple ended up being really great in these! I would love to try again with marshmallow creme.

[@DianeSLoftis]

New to your channel. Anyway, just wanted you to know you had busting out with laughter at the ‘John J. Limas’ 😅 Excellent content. Thank you!

[@cooking_the_books]

Hi there and welcome! So glad I could make you laugh with my cheesy jokes. 😄 Hope it brightened your day. Thank you for your kind words about my content!

[@CookingWithCarlee]

That book is super cute! It is pretty funny that cooking frozen fries and adding salt is a recipe in there. LD doesn't like sweet potatoes, but maybe if I served them as volcanoes he would give them another try. (and if you fold the top of the piping bag down a bit it's easier to fill. 😉

[@cooking_the_books]

Worth a try! I posted this video in a vintage cookbook group I'm in on Facebook, and one of the commenters said her kids would likely eat anything shaped like a volcano. 😂

[@GIATRANTHOITRANGVAAMNHAC]

Mến chào bạn hiền! Mình rất vui được làm quen với bạn! Video chia sẻ rất tuyệt vời, mình rất thích video này của bạn! Chúc bạn thành công trong công việc và trong cuộc sống nhé! Hẹn gặp lại bạn trong thời gian sớm nhất

[@cooking_the_books]

Thanks for visiting!

[@CookingwithAnadi]

Ooooh these are so cool! I had the same feelings about the pineapple in there! I think this would be very innovative at a Thanksgiving table, it sure would be a conversation starter with guests!

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you! Gotta keep things interesting at Thanksgiving. 😄

[@cookingwithsherry]

I think your volcanoes became sweet potato lava! It looks like it would be good

[@cooking_the_books]

They certainly did! 😂 I'm thinking of using less liquid in my mashed sweet potatoes if I make these again. Firmer potatoes may have held together a bit better. At least they tasted good!

[@shaunamills5655]

Hi Anna. I replied to your post regarding the sweet potato volcano’s and where to find butter dots. Please read as I added a bit more. Love your channel

[@Daily_englishpratice]

Wah

[@cooking_the_books]

Thanks for watching!

[@Maikoh]

Thanksgiving is totally my favorite food holiday! These look great! Haha, welll… they look tasty! 😅😂😋 they look kinda like reverse fried eggs 😂 like the white and yolk reversed 🤣

[@cooking_the_books]

Oh my gosh you're right! They do look kinda like reverse fried eggs. 😂 If I try this again, I'll probably use less (or maybe zero?) liquid in my mashed sweet potatoes. I think I made them too soft to withstand baking. They were certainly delicious though!

[@littleblackcar]

If you ever do T-shirts or other merchandise, be sure to style the fonts after some of these cookbook covers.

[@bastek.]

Hello. Potatos looking yummy 🤤🤤🤤OK channel. Big like and support my new friend 👉🤝👈Have a good day🖐Stay safe😷

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you!

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

How fun is that- pineapple definitely a unique addition. I mean how long to spices actually last?????

[@cooking_the_books]

The pineapple really did end up growing on my. I use so little nutmeg over the course of a year, there's no way it wouldn't expire unless I bought it by the teaspoon. 😂

[@jenn4youtube]

My vegetables are going to be so handsome.

[@cooking_the_books]

I only allow handsome vegetables on my table. 🎩

[@mjs6767]

I wonder about piping them into muffin tin cups. Might hold up better!

[@brendakrieger7000]

I love sweet potatoes🍠⛰

[@cooking_the_books]

Me too 😋

[@adrianstevens656]

What about adding nuts and coconut flakes? Maybe put them in a muffin tin to keep them separate.

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

Personally, I'd skip the pineapple and add a little maple syrup.

[@bouldergirl528]

I don't know if you’ll see this message, but you mentioned Boulder and Cosmo's pizza...are you in Boulder? That's where I live! I'd love to meet up! Caren

[@cooking_the_books]

I am not in Boulder, but years ago spent a good amount of time there. One of my favorite stores in the world is Peppercorn on Pearl St. 😁
