I have my Grandmother's Household Search Light cookbook too. I think it dates to the early 40's & is over 3 inches thick. They sold them door to door back then. She wrote on pages, glued newspaper & magazine recipes in it, you name it. Thing is she hardly ever used a recipe. She was a toss & throw cook. She could bake the best blackberry pie & never used a recipe. A hand full of this, a pinch of that. She never used measuring spoons either. I once asked her how they knew how to determine the temperature in a wood cook oven. She told me they'd stick their hand in. Ahhh the really good old days .
