Happy new year! This is a fun project! For awhile, I made it a habit to try to stop in to a local used bookshop when traveling and go to the cookbook section and pickup a local cookbook as a souvenir, although not necessarily vintage. I have a few local church cookbooks and even a lady auxiliary collection, a now-gone local cafe cookbook, and if I didn’t come across a used bookstore , I sometimes instead picked up generic ones representing the area cuisine from the gift shop of some attractions. I generally haven’t cooked/baked out of them either, with the only exception is that local cafe cookbook from upstate New York, I bought the book pretty much for the walnut multigrain bread recipe and have in fact made that recipe many times. Thanks for taking us on this journey! I look forward to the recipes and seeing the fun old pamphlets and recipe books! My daughter definitely does the dipping thing with her pancakes too! It keeps the syrup on the surface and maximizes the texture and temperature contrast!

Local cookbooks make for good souvenirs, for sure! Walnut multigrain sounds tasty.
