COOK BOOKS AND COOKING

July 7, 2026

Now we have Youtube and Instagram pages to learn a food recipe. We learn how to cook a dish in just thirty seconds. But how did our mothers prepare new dishes back then, when there was no Youtube and Instagram to teach them?

And here comes our legend, The Cook Book! A treasure for many mothers!

What Does This Cook Book Have?

Every time a TV channel telecasts a cooking show, our mothers would sit down with this Cook Book to note down the recipe of the dish prepared that day.

Every time a neighbour shared the recipe of what they cooked, our mothers carefully wrote it down in this Cook Book.

Every time they read a food recipe in a magazine, they cut it down and save it in their Cook Books for future use.

Thus, the Cook Book became a treasure box for our mothers, holding not only the pages of different recipes but also their dream of trying new dishes whenever they found a little free time.

Cooking With a Cook Book:

A Cook Book is more than just a book, the golden words entered inside it have always led to interesting moments in the kitchen.

It has got an emotion and memory attached to it.

Children thought the new dish was ready whenever their mother ran out of the kitchen to check the next step in the cook book. Unable to wait, they would even peep into the Cook Book to check how long it would take before the dish was finally ready.

And each home has a different story and emotion with this Cook Book.

What Did a Cook Book Have?

Name of the dish.

Ingredients.

Steps to make it.

And the mandatory final line “Serve hot!”
