These 7 vintage cookbooks from the Culinary Arts Institute are a must - have for any cooking enthusiast. Titles include Pies, Cakes, Salads, Cookies, Sandwiches, Snacks, and Facts About Food. The author is unstated, and they were published between 1950 - 1973. The books are in acceptable condition, though they show some wear. Covers have soiling and material loss, and text blocks have soiling and tarnishing along the fore edge. There's creasing on covers and pages. The Cookie Book has a loose binding but no missing pages, and the other books' bindings are secure.
These vintage cookbooks are great for exploring classic recipes. To use them, simply flip through the pages to find the dish you want to make. As these are old books, handle them gently to avoid further damage to the covers and bindings. When reading, place them on a flat surface to prevent more creasing. After use, store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent further soiling and fading. If you need to clean the covers, use a soft, dry cloth. Don't try to repair the loose binding of The Cookie Book on your own, as it might cause more harm. Just be careful when using it to keep the pages from falling out.
