Handwritten Recipes: A Bookseller's Collection of Curious and Wonderful Recipes Forgotten Between the Pages

Leaf through your cookbooks, and youâ€™re likely to find a bit of paper with a recipe written in a familiar (or not-so-familiar) hand. It could be a family secret finally divulged, a scribbled interpretation of something seen on TV, even a culinary experiment long since forgotten. What happens to these recipes when the books are passed on?

By day, Michael Popek works in his familyâ€™s used bookstore. By night, heâ€™s the voyeuristic force behind the websites ForgottenBookmarks and HandwrittenRecipes, where he shares the weird, wonderful objects he has found among the stacks at his store.

Handwritten Recipes is a treasury of Michaelâ€™s most fascinating found recipes. Youâ€™ll find classic Americana like pies and casseroles alongside ethnic mainstays such as Italian cookies, springerle, and German dumplings. Some are perfectly clear and complete, while others leave crucial elementsâ€”like cooking times and ingredient measurementsâ€”to the readerâ€™s imagination. You can venture to try any recipe, or just enjoy Popekâ€™s findings as a time capsule from kitchens of generations gone by.
