 Vintage Cookbook Royal Gelatin Aspic "Movie Recipes" 1934

Royal Aspic Movie Recipes

Royal Aspic Movie Recipes II

Why I Want This: I don’t think I have ever wanted a gelatin recipe booklet as much as this one! Did you check out the lima beans in that chicken loaf on the front? And the last recipe on the back has macaroni AND Russian dressing in it. Be still my heart.

 1943 Jell-O Recipes for Wartime WWII Print Ad

Welcome In Wartime

Why I Want This: Did you see the gelatin in the left corner?? More lima beans! As a bonus, it has canned tomatoes as well.  If that doesn’t say “Welcome” I don’t know what does.

 ALL TIME FAVORITE SALAD BETTER HOMES BOOK

All-Time Favorite Salads

All-Time Favorite Salads II

Why I Want This: I really, really want to know what makes that Spanish Vegetable Mold “Spanish” instead of just “filled with V-8”.

 Favorite Recipes Americas FOOD EDITORS

Editors Favorite Recipes II

Editors Favorite Recipes

Editors Favorite Recipes III

Why I Want This: It really, really looks like this is a gem of a cookbook. I mean, get a load of that molded salad. It looks like it could either be gelatin or some kind of savory bread pudding thing, but I am really, really hoping it is gelatin. And that loaf thing with the olives on top? Get out. It is probably pate, but in my heart I hope there is gelatin in it.

 The Complete Gelatin Cookbook 1978 by Manuela Soares

The Complete Gelatin Cookbook

Why I Want This: I’m not sure what else this book has up its sleeve, but they seem to like the same mold that the Food Editors of America like. And that is very, very promising.
