I am looking for some old recipes

My mom served a lot of gravy bread. Neighbors put gravy on crushed crackers, called it Yankee potpie. Pap liked his gravy over biscuits but mom never made biscuits.
Mom made slippery potpie in ham broth and potatoes. Husband's grandmother made slippery potpie using butterbeans. Slippery potpie, fried potatoes and occasionally salmon cakes were Sunday dinner at her house. Every special occasion she made a raisin cake which I think is like the war cake. No one got any recipes from her before she died. Always made her bread from a recipe in her head.
Potato cakes from left over mashed potatoes. I would only eat the soft center out of it.

I have a hard copy of a 1918 cookbook - Win the War Cookbook.
You can find it on the site above under Title and click on "W".
This is a site you can spend hours viewing.

I flip through the "FANNY FARMER" cook book. It has some great old recpies.
Also the "WHITEHOUSE" cook book (the older ones) they are hilarious. BTW I think there is a Whitehouse cook book published for each president.

I have one really OLD dessert receipe that starts out "Take 1 cup of cream seperated from your milk, whisk for about 45 minutes or until it will hold soft peaks..." Really makes me appreciate my electric mixer.
