MURDER? NO. MEATLOAF? YES. 1929 COOKBOOK WITH STAINED PAGES & UNHINGED CHARM

Good Meals and How to Prepare Them – Good Housekeeping 1929 Cookbook The cookbook had stains. The story had teeth. 🕵️‍♂️ She said it was tomato sauce. I said it looked like motive. Published in February 1929—just months before the stock market crashed and kitchens fell silent—this cookbook marked the end of an era. It’s more than a guide to meatloaf; it’s a survival snapshot, seasoned with stains from living, not just cooking. The binding’s loose, the corners tattered, and a handwritten recipe from 1938 waits inside like a secret passed down in gravy. So if you’re the type who romanticizes danger with dinner, this might be your gateway drug to vintage culinary crime. One-part domestic charm, two-parts unverified alibi. Just don’t ask what’s under the sauce stain—unless you’re ready to face the marinade of truth. 📚 HISTORICAL CONTEXT Authored by KATHARINE A. FISHER, Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute, this 256-PAGE HARDCOVER was distributed exclusively to subscribers—NEVER SOLD IN STORES. It’s the culinary equivalent of a secret society file from the final breath of the Roaring Twenties. 🔍 CONDITION • BINDING IS LOOSE BUT HOLDING • CORNERS TATTERED WITH CHARACTER • STAINING PRESENT—VISIBLE AND HONEST (SEE PHOTOS) • BONUS: HANDWRITTEN 1938 RECIPE TUCKED INSIDE • SOME SAY IT’S KETCHUP… WE’RE NOT SO SURE 🎯 Tagline: Domestic noir, served with a side of roast beef.
