I love your idea for a blog--and all the old recipes. I have an awful lot of old cookbooks and sometimes dig back into them for inspiration for my own cooking and my blog (ruthtalksfood.substack.com). I love baking banana bread; I think my first recipe was probably from Fanny Farmer, but my current favorite is King Arthur's whole-grain version.

Morning, noon and night, 'Nana Bread always works. Adding sour cream to anything is never a bad idea, but I can only how much it would enhance Banana Bread! On a personal note, I prefer without nuts. But it really is a perfect "go to". With coffee, tea or milk it always hits the spot!! Can I tell ya?...it's yummy with a dessert wine...

Jolene! I have that cookbook, too! It was my grandmother's, and I've kept it around for decor. But I've never actually tried any of the recipes. I definitely should. Thank you for this post!

I just love the aluminum casing on the cookbook! (And the banana bread sounds yummy, too!)

I'm so excited to try this. I LOVE banana bread! Will also substitute flax seed and butter. And I can't get sour cream here in Greece, but I do have yogurt, so will use that. Thanks as always for the history tidbits.
