Do not use the antique books since DH passed, he liked some of the old recipes as memory meals.
This was my mother's cookbook. I enjoy reading through it. The recipes are simple compared to nowadays. Although some ingredients would be hard to come by such as "top milk, compressed yeast cakes, Bar le duc, Knuckle veal, shin of beef, larded beef, sweetbreads", etc.
Lots of the fresh vegetable recipes call for crisping the ingredients in iced water. I don't remember having that instruction in a recipe that I've used.
