Who remembers the Host Cookbooks from yesteryear?

[ Edited ]

I enjoyed Bob Warden and purchased a lot of Cooks Essentials from him (some I still use) I was gifted his cookbook

And found this at a local library sale for $1 there are really good home cook recipes in this one..

All host and viewer recipes😃

 

and a favorite cookbook was Mary Beth Roe's family cookbook.  I haven't used cookbooks so packed most away.  I know it was full of easy yummy kid friendly, entertaining and more type recipes.  I made many when I was still doing a lot of cooking.

 

I did buy Mark Charles Micilli and Meredith Lawrence cookbooks but have no idea where they are as most of cookbooks are packed away or donated.

Don't know how I missed that one. I bought a lot of QVC cookbooks in the 1990's.

I still have both of Mary Beth's cookbooks.  She autographed one many years ago at the Mall of America.

I think it was a "bonus" gift with the CE promo when the first pressure cooker came out.  My friend Jerry bought every kitchen appliance & gadget there was from QVC.

 

Sadly he passed and his sister gave me the book (and many nice gadgets and small appliances) that's why I think it was "gift w/purchase".

 

Me too I bought lots of vendor cookbooks too. Do you know  Who was a older lady and she had yummiest recipes!  In my move, I can't find that one --I think she was in her 80s when she wrote it🙂

@BunSnoop I have them also!  I have had Davids from library book sales, but donated them.  I also donated Meredith Laurence books that I didn't use.  I also liked ne by Bob Bowersox, but don't know if I still have it or not.

 

But I still have Laura Weathers' book and the Nesco little wire bound books from when Virginia Olson was there that are wonderful! SHE was wonderful!
