I think we all would like to thank Dan for the gift of these cookbooks. They are bringing so much joy to so many.

[@caitriley1255]

You are so right. I have been immediately looking for and purchasing them every new title announced! Today’s brought me to happy tears reminding me so much of the spirit of my late dad how he would always investigate and follow trails of history.. grand scheme most people don’t really put much stock or value in something so simple as a cookbook and the sweet little owner from Ithaca.. but small scale history is so important to.. to value and cherish.

[@tammymurphy2707]

For someone whose passion isn’t cooking/baking, you do a fantastic job of it!

[@meganyounger4842]

Bet your husband had no idea the Adventures these cook books would bring to you guys! Excellent gift.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

He didn't, but he's having almost as much fun as I am with them!

[@FortheLoveofWool]

I can confidently tell you that the Pennsylvania Dutch and their descendants of Amish and Mennonite who settled in southwestern Ontario (my family background) LOVE pies. I don’t believe we ever had a family gathering without at least 3 kinds of pie for dessert when my grandmother was hosting.

[@MyHumbleNest]

I have the loveliest chills surging through me as you tell the story of Pauline and Betty. What a wonderful legacy they left and they didn't know it. Thanks Chelsea for sharing and thanks Dan for gifting these to your beautiful wife. What a joy!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@elliev3593]

Chelsea I found the full newspaper with that Holiday Sandwich recipe you found in Betty’s cookbook. I emailed you the info.

[@mabelarnold8049]

Martha makes me homesick. Grew up in Nova Scotia with similar one and ended up in California many years later.

[@donnasouthwood]

I have some old mennonite cookbooks given to me by my mother in law. I think they were given to her by her mother. They say to put the cake filling in first and the chocolate sauce is poured over it, and then during baking the chocolate sauce settle to the bottom, and you have a nice chocolate swirl through your cake part. But the end result would be close to the same, so maybe some did it differently. Yours looks delicious.

[@vickyprice1932]

This video made me so happy, but also tears to my eyes to hear about all the updates on the cookbooks. Love this. Thank you Chelsea for sharing your happiness with all of us. 😊♥️

[@angelmiller3224]

Any leftover pie crust my Mommy would roll out and put Cinnamon and Sugar on it us kids loved it more than the pie Love the bowl Love the old cookbooks

[@nancyhewetson9517]

My mother did the same thing.....was my favourite part as well.

[@beekind1940]

I still do that! Our daughter loves those extra cinnamon crispness best.

[@debbiemusgrove676]

Mine too❤. Wonderful childhood memories.

[@melindawargowsky8176]

Butter, cinnamon, sugar pie crust is my favorite treat! I even make it for my “birthday cake”.😊

[@marymoseley8992]

We called the extra pie crust that had been rolled thin, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, snaps. We looked forward to the snaps.

[@scotserve]

What a good husband you have there buying you cook books that you love. Not everyone would do that, he might not like the camera but he certainly thinks the world of you. And for someone who doesn't like cooking you're very good at it.

[@carolkantner1770]

My Mom tells hoe much she loved my Grandmother pies baked in a wood stove. The top was browned perfectly. Martha is a beauty.

[@iartistdotme]

What fun!!!! I got married 1964.but hadn't cooked before and really enjoyed learning. One of my favorite cookbooks was an older Better Homes and Garden cookbook that we all loved the ingredients - full fat milk, honest cream, butter, cut up fresh fruit. It was wonderful and when we moved I got rid of the old books and bought a newer edition of the same name. Boy, was that a mistake. The ingredients had become - more healthy, less real, boring. Some of our favorites were no longer included like bread pudding, basic apple pie, stew. Everything had been upgraded, reduced fat, fancied up, less taste or missing altogether. I appreciate those older recipes so much when food tasted so good. Cut down on the portion sizes but not the taste. I remember when McDonald's first sold burgers and fries - they were tiny in size and we all never noticed them being small - but now they would be called kid's meals. I'm so happy you are cooking from the old recipes - we have a lot to learn from the old days when food was not so processed and was made from real ingredients. I can't wait to try both of these recipes. Can't wait for your next adventure.

[@elizabethkelly9039]

I have copy of Better Homes and Garden Cookbook, the best I can tell it is 60 years old. It was my grandmothers. I use some of the recipes but mostly the other info in the book about food and measurements

[@carolcrudder7864]

The only books I like to read are cook books! And the older the better.

[@DKFisher]

You should add your own note about how you received the cookbooks and when. ❤ the stories of them and your kitchen adventures with them!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I should! I’m a little scared to write in them, but I’ll at least add some notes.

[@jartotable]

I think I get more nostalgic as I get older. People are forever saying that british food is tasteless and boring but I've recently realised why I disagree so much. Properly homecooked British food is the same foods that people have been eating for hundreds of years. Vegetables, meats and pastry with salt and lots of butter. They were comfort foods against the cold weather. I love the simplicity of chicken pot pie and the history behind it.

[@karendooks6244]

I agree, I feel that British cooking takes a proper good cook to do justice to the recipes.

[@loriolexo635]

Om goodness. My mom always made just chicken pie. She would put four on the bottom crust then the chicken and fill it up with the chicken broth. It would thicken as ot baked. She would made homemade noodles , mashed potatoes and corn. Total carb overload. She passed 6 years ago at the age of 92. This was the one dinner all 7 of her children asked for our birthday dinner. I have never heard of anyone making this pie. How exciting. My family and all my neices and nephews also love this pie. How amazing you have this recipe.

[@aura-leekistner1810]

❤❤❤Martha! I would be on cloud nine if i could have a wood cook stove!❤❤

[@VinnysPizzaMore]

Absolutely love your channel! I collect old cookbooks as well and have a copy of your Pen Dutch. My favorites are the cookbooks that give life advise...nutrition and how to set up a house. The basics don't really change that much. Remember to put your own information in each book for the next generation.

[@russellwood8750]

My grandmother still uses an old wooden stove from time to time she has an electric one and she has a gas one, but she still uses the wooden one for certain recipes and if I’m being honest food taste better. However, as she got older, it’s harder and harder for her to clean. We help out when we’re there but instead of scrubbing it with a sponge scourer, or a metal scourer. I went out and bought her a relatively inexpensive orbital sander with very fine grain sanding pads, which wouldn’t scratch up the metal on the stove top. It has a little bag to suck up any kind of dirt and grind like a vacuum cleaner as she runs the sand across the stove. This is better as it’s much lighter work far quicker to do it and you’re putting no water on the stove at all. A little tip from me to you about cleaning the wooden stove the way my grandmother would do it.

[@kbailh01]

My family is Pennsylvania Dutch I still live in Pennsylvania. We are definitely pie people. Pie for breakfast is perfectly acceptable. Love that.

[@hectorcorral2419]

thank you for sharing the stories i can acttuly say to you your video is the only video that i watch with out fast forwerding againg thank you

[@jessicaj1377]

I paused your video to clean my woodstove as it's been on my list for way too long. Now, if you could also remind me where I put my vacuum bags that'd be helpful too.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

lol! I always wish I could ask you guys where I put things.

[@jessicaj1377]

@@LittleMountainRanch Wood cookstoves are great. I tried to send you a pic of mine just for the fun of it but the email failed to send.

[@farmer-red488]

Oh my goodness thank you so much for the laugh!!

[@joypolk3093]

Hi, when you make the ‘funny cake recipe’ again…try putting the top batter into a pastry bag or zip lock bag with a small opening and trail the batter starting at the outside rim, and you might use all your batter and not have the over flow. But, I’d still use a tray under it🤗🤩. Great video, thanks for sharing the recipes and stories of these wonderful cookbooks!👍

[@latauarobison6521]

Just take you pin roller and roll over top of dish it will cut off the excess quickly. My mom used to take the left over pie crust and place in cookie sheet and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. We would eat it like a snack. lol

[@lulajohns1883]

I have been learning to can, grow veggies and fruits. Have chickens already but pondering if we should purchase a cow and/or goats or if they do not warrant the cost of upkeep. Really like your channel. Our neighbor has a wood stove she would like to give us, trying to figure out the logistics of said stove. Videos are very informative. Thank you

[@jennterrell3316]

Oh my my! I started getting goosebumps when you said that Pauline lived in Ithaca-my dad grew up in Ithaca and myself and my siblings have many fond memories of going there to visit our grandparents. They were on Hector Street and lived there from the 1940s into the early 2000s. It looks like she must have lived only a couple miles away from my grandparents! What a small world indeed!!!!

[@vivianzuniga8814]

A couple things. If you’ll drape your crust down into the pie pan then trim it , it won’t shrink back and be too small. Second if you’ll hold your whisk, spoon or whatever overhand instead of underhand when you stir or whisk, it won’t tire your hand and wrist out so quickly or leave you sore. I love your wood stove, it is gorgeous!

[@vickyprice1932]

So so glad you come out with a video today!!! I needed some happiness in my life. And your channel is where I find that. Love love love your channel ❤️ 💛 💖 ♥️

You have inspired me to visit a local vintage book shop. Luckily their is 1 in the small market town I live. Buxton, Derbyshire, England. I'm now wanting to look into recipes from war time when food was rationed and in short supply. I'm looking forward to listening from women of the past. Thank you

[@chrisanndunn8814]

Oh, I would love to have an old cookbook from England. How lucky you are. Greetings from New Orleans, Louisiana USA

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I love England, so much! I would love to go wander through used book shops there. I can imagine there's treasure to be found.

[@jenniferspeers2453]

have you watched the series "wartime farm" ? There were a few seasons based on different eras (Edwardian, Victorian, Tudor, tales from Green Valley) . i would very much recommend them. I watched all the seasons on youtube- i think some may stream on Prime video

[@pambaumgardner2275]

My grandmother was Pennsylvania Dutch. She had a cook book very similar to the one that you have if not that exact one. Yes, pretty much everything could be put in a pastry, either sweet or savory, to make a pie. To this day, I still use a pie crust recipe that my great-grandmother used. Fortunately, it can be used for both sweet and savory pies.

[@lindaseikkula2296]

Share the recipe?

[@deborahrutherford5244]

I wrote the Hoiday Sandwich recipe and sent it to the address of the house to who lives there now. I put information on your utube channel so they can watch you make the recipe.

What a lovely thing to do! I hope they comment one day.

[@hoosiermama16]

i love the deep dive you're doing with these books...many wouldn't even bother...but this is amazing and i've been loving watching it develop!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I don't know why, but it feels important to me.

[@Fl-Mamabear]

​@@LittleMountainRanch I agree that it does feel important. I've been making a chicken pot pie recipe from my grandmother and it's probably my family's favorite.

Eva L Jipson was married to Dan Jipson, according to the 1910 census. They lived in Smithfield, NY. Had 2 children, Franklin 3 yo and Minnie less than a year old. At the time of the census, Eva and Dan had been married for 4 years. Maybe this can lead you to more information.

[@davej7458]

For cleaning the top of your stove check out restaurant grill cleaning brick. There are used on restaurant griddles does a very very good job of removing any food residue and does no damage to the metal. Then finish with a rolled up cotton cloth or rag.Thick enough to protect your hands from the heat.

[@elizaC3024]

Small world indeed. Keep the great recipes coming from these wonderful cookbooks.

[@tammyreece8046]

Small world indeed! I grew up in Cortland, NY and both my parents families are from that area, Cortland, Dryden, Freeville. There's been generations of my grandmother's family in the village of Freeville and I still have relatives living there. Also have some in Ithaca. How funny to watch your video and see ties to my hometown!!

My nanny told me the warming part above is called a salamander she had one in her home when I was growing up she cooked on it and kept the house warm she's been gone for years but I can still smell her bread 🍞😂🇨🇦

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thank you.

[@russellwood8750]

Instead of the parchment, paper or clingfilm, you could use what my grandmother and great grandmother would’ve used beeswax wraps. Very organic have anti-bacterial properties reusable, but cannot wash in hot water and you wouldn’t use it on meat poultry or fish. However, perfect for covering up your pastry, your bread dough, my grandmother, even used to wrap my grandfathers and uncles sandwiches and lunches in it. Old-fashioned alternative

[@heatherdrew616]

I love watching you make these old recipes, so much fun!! Now I want some old cookbooks 😊

[@Noname-cn4ly]

I’m 65…and had a big house with land. I had BOTH sets of grandparents’ old cast iron white enamel oven/stoves. I loved them…..they were O’keefe and Merritt from the 1940’s…..sadly, I had to move and sell my home due to medical and old age…..and it broke my heart to have to leave the two ovens, but they each weighed more than 500 pounds(guess) and my new place is a tiny home, so they won’t fit. 😞😢. I had even advertised for sale(make me an offer) , but in almost a year, and several attempts….i couldn’t even sell them😞

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Yes, PA Dutch recipes have a lot of doughs. The Amish used to milk their own grain in bulk & farm.(a lot of eggs on hand too)They still live in large houses with extended families. A lot of mouths to feed. Dough is filling. We do a lot of dumplings, fried dough, breads & yes pies.

[@drekfletch]

I think that's an Old World phenomenon. I was watching a video with a married couple, she's American and he's either English or French (French and they met in England or English and met in France). He was giving her a hard time about how he grew up eating all sorts of pies and all we have is apple pumpkin or chicken.

[@brendamaas4293]

My mom used to use something called stove black after she had cleaned it. Instead of a warming oven, hers had a cistern for warming water. Food was so tasty cooked on them.

[@christineconley7903]

My mom used stove black on the wood cook stove top at my great-aunt's one room log cabin at Bull Lake Montana. We went there every summer for our 2 week vacation. I now have my own wood cook stove (not hooked up yet) and I said to myself, "I need to get some stove black".

[@ddouglas1090]

Lol! I came here, 9 months later on viewing this video to ask and comment the same thing! I grew up with my gramma's cooking on a wood stove, with a hot water reservoir on the side, and she used stove black to keep her stove shiny and new looking! It always looked like it came right out of a show room....a great source of pride to her.

[@dianehafef4485]

The cookbooks are bringing joy to so many people I’m sure. I know they are me. I have some cookbooks 50 to 60 years old. I purchased them in high school. They were a fundraiser for FHA ( Future Homemakers of America). Sadly KZbin and the internet have made cookbooks nearly obsolete. I used to work for a company that published cookbooks for church’s and organizations. They quit publishing cookbooks in 2006 because not enough were being published. I was able to take extras. I love reading cookbooks.

[@maureenhargrave3568]

I collect cookbooks. Cookbooks are still being printed at a rate that I cannot keep up with them. However those specialized cookbooks from flour, salt, baking powder, local grocery stores etc are fast dying. Even Costco no longer puts out a cookbook which was available every New Year.

Hi Chelsea- I had a 1980 Finley Oval like yours. I loved it! I also would recommend checking out the new airtight Kitchen Queen. If I had to replace our 1930 Home Comfort, I would look into the KQ or similar. Your stove is so much easier to clean than mine! I cannot remove the top frame, only the lids. Hence I use a long handle scraper to push the ash over to the right side. It drops to the bottom and there is a tiny clean out door directly beneath the oven door. I have it down to an art. You have reminded me to get cleaning! After wiping off the oil, scrunch up a large ball of wax paper and polish the surface. It gives it a teflon type shiny finish. Then you can place toast directly onto the surface. Grandma Hazel taught me that :-) Thanks for taking us along. I hope others consider a kitchen wood stove. Our vintage stove will heat 1,000 square ft. and is great during a power outage.The Irish Stanley is a lovely small air tight that comes in colors. I am not sure if they are still manufactured, but they are around. ~ Diane

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

Those look amazing and the recipe books are fantastic. I have a bunch of books my mom collected I should go through them and make a few things. I'm all about self sustaining so lard is a good thing ;)
