The missus and I are on the lookout for old cookery books. The kind of books where the author had passed on long before the invention of the microwave oven.

We’re looking for books from the 1800’s and 1900’s, from anywhere in the world – all countries, all cultures.

Any hints or tips on where we might be able to unearth a cache of old recipies and knowledge, or, if anyone reads this and finds themselves in the position of being able to donate old recipe books that are just gathering dust, we promise to put them to good use!

Please note that we’re not interested in buying books, we’re on a mission to share the knowledge therein for the good of the many, we’re not collectors!
