I love vintage cookbooks – classic cooking, real cooking.   And in my embarrassingly hefty collection, I’ve amassed quite a few vintage cookbooks including some doubles.   Among my favorites is the mid-century Time Life series Foods of the World.   The series covers the traditional and not-so-traditional food practices of people’s all across the globe: sourdough noodles and caviar in Russia, carrots in butter and maple syrup in the US, coq au vin in France, sashimi in Japan.   It’s a fantastic and beautiful look at food heritage all across the globe.   So, for this week’s giveaway, I’m sharing two of my favorite books: The Cooking of Japan and Classical French Cooking the books feature food history, heritage and traditional recipes.
