• Cook and Housewife's Manual
  By Margaret Dods (pdf)
  Were he around today, there’s no doubt how Sir Walter Scott would have voted on this question. He was unhappy to see any of Scotland’s heritage disappearing and, besides campaigning for other causes, he welcomed the publication in 1826 of the first Scottish cookery book to feature native culinary traditions: The Cook and Housewife’s Manual by Mistress Margaret (Meg) Dods. These distinctive food traditions, he argued, should not be allowed to ‘fall into oblivion in our day’

• The Best Way
  The fourth edition of "The Best Way", published in the UK circa 1920. Aimed at new housewives, it contains mostly recipes together with laundry tips and even a method for preventing kettles rusting using lard! Printed on inexpensive paper that has turned a lovely brown colour over the last century. Pages one to five are missing, containing some of the soup recipes alas. Author unknown (1920) (pdf). Give the recipes a try - some of the ingredients may be difficult to obtain these days (beef skirt?) but most will need little adaption, other than working out the oven temperatures. I can recommend the curried potatoes (p31) and the blackberry pancakes (p40) especially.
