Vintage Recipe: The Culinary CornerPosted Aug 22nd 2007 7:59AM by Marisa McClellanFiled under: Dinner, Vegetables, Recipes, America, Retro cookeryIn the days before blogs and email, groups of women (and it was almost always women back in those days) relied on the technology of their time to share recipes and cooking tips. They were often brought together by their membership at churches, synagogues or charitable organizations. One woman would be in charge of gathering the recipes, while another (typically one who had worked as a secretary prior to her marriage) would handle the typing. Together (with contributions from their group members) they would produce monthly or semi-monthly newsletters like the one you see above. I found this one tucked into an old Sunset cookbook in the back of my cousin's cookbook cabinet when I was over there on Sunday night (also when I found the Velveeta pamphlet). After the jump there's another recipe from the newsletter that didn't fit in the picture.Marinated MushroomsTo be used as a cold vegetable or instead of a salad. 2 large jars of whole mushrooms2 tablespoons wine vinegar4 tablespoons olive oil2 cloves of crushed garlic or 2 tablespoons of garlic powdersalt and pepper to tasteMix all together and let refrigerate until cold. You can use cherry tomatoes instead of mushrooms, but if you do, add 1/2 teaspoon oregano. Or you can mix the mushrooms and the sliced cherry tomatoes together, but you do DO NOT ADD OREGANO. Serves 2. Evie Wexler(Evie really didn't want you to add oregano if you were using the mushrooms, as the emphatic caps lock was all hers).
