I love this lady! She is such a talented chef and I was honored to receive her recipe box as her things were being relocated. Did you know she was a staff cook for the Rockefeller family for several decades? She worked in their kitchens in Jackson Hole, WY, Manhattan and Sleepy Hollow, NY. So impressive!
No way could I keep them to myself. So, read the below information and get cookin'!
Disclaimer: I tried to make sure the recipes were as true to the originals as possible. Some were in story form, others in traditional form with ingredients first, instructions second. Thus, the continuity is compromised! Also, some recipes seem incomplete or maybe instructions are old-fashioned or unclear. My advice would be to enter the recipe title or some of the ingredients into Google, Pinterest or Allrecipes.com and hope for the best. (And although typos drive me crazy…I am imperfect! If you catch mistakes, let me know!)
Please, please let me know if any of these recipes mean something to you, and you would like to have the original recipe card. I have kept them all. So many of these recipes are written in Midge's own hand, with cooking splatters. Priceless!
This is an ongoing project. One of the reasons I have posted these online rather than printed them, is so that I can continue to update them. I have only typed up the handwritten cards so far.
There are a couple hundred cards left that are from magazines and newspapers that I will get around to typing as well. So, stop back by for updated versions!
In the future, if these recipes are moved to a different site or printed, I will leave instructions or a link here.
Enjoy!

Thank you very much for all of your work. These recipes are my grandma's. I would love a handwritten recipe for my daughter. She is 15 and we will have so much fun with these recipes. Please let me know were I can send you my address. My mother is Mary and my aunts are Debbie and Linda. I noticed several recipes from them too. Anything actually would be amazing. Thank you again.

ReplyDeleteToday I noticed some recipes from Susie. That would be another aunt. We would really just enjoy a recipe card in her handwriting though. I was also wondering if you had her seasoning on a card. She spent a lot of time working on a custom spice blend.
