We've only ever tried two vintage 'salad' recipes throughout all our vintage cooking adventures so I figured it's probably time to test out another. Initially, I thought about just doing vintage jelly recipes but there are just so many great recipes out there I don't think I want to eat that much jelly, even for … Continue reading Making a Vintage Seafoam Salad
Every decade has its 'must have' kitchen gadget (I'm looking at you air fryer!), and in the 70s, it was the electric fry pan. A dream kitchen appliance that could be (pause for dramatic effect ...) used to cook an entire English breakfast in just one pan. The electric fry pan was hugely popular due … Continue reading Testing Vintage – 1970s Phillips Electric Fry Pan
Vintage Cooking Adventures with Miss MonMon It's once again the season of love and to celebrate Valentine's Day for another year, I wanted to try another vintage recipe. Much like today, food has trends with what's popular as well as what is considered a superfood. Remember kale becoming the latest and greatest superfood a few … Continue reading Making Valentines Coeur A La Creme from the 1960s
We have a lot to celebrate this week; my YouTube channel has reached 5K subscribers (oh my gosh thank you so much!) and I've done another lap around the sun. One of the best ways to celebrate anything is by eating cake, one of my favourite past times and something I am pretty good at … Continue reading Baking a Vintage Pineapple Upside-Down Cake from the 1950s
The 70's were a wild time, especially culinary speaking where it was adding the weird and wonderful (mainly into a jelly mould and calling it a day) presented on our tables. When I was deciding what decades-old dining experience to share with you all, I wasn't sure what to make until I saw the Banana … Continue reading Making a Vintage Banana Spook Cake – Vintage Cooking Adventures
Vintage Cooking Adventures It's officially the greatest month of the year which means there will be a pumpkin on every flat surface of my house, cinnamon in every cup of tea I drink and spicy candles lit all day long. It's also the month of listening to the Rocky Horror soundtrack, watching Over the Garden … Continue reading Making Halloween Triple Treat Parfait from 1977
I'm in the process of some renovations and have decided to turn one of the rooms in my home into a sewing room. Being a vintage lover, I've always thought about how I can include vintage furniture in my home and how I can repurpose it to suit my needs. I've always wanted a vintage … Continue reading Restoring a 1950’s Vintage Kitchenette
Anzac Day is an important day for anyone in Australia and New Zealand; it is a national day of remembrance that commemorates all those "who served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations" and "the contribution and suffering of all those who have served". Held on the 25th of April each year, Anzac … Continue reading Making ANZAC biscuits from 1914
I have a weird love for vintage magazines and I really enjoy reading the ones I own and will most likely pick up a few more as time rolls on. Last year, I found the April edition of New Idea from 1958 which was an Easter special edition claiming to have some amazing Easter recipes. … Continue reading Making Snow Eggs from 1958 – Vintage Cooking Adventure
I have a soft spot for a good soup; growing up, every day my mother had a fresh type of soup ready when we got home from school and even though I can never make my own taste as good as hers, I love making soup. Soup is comforting and perfect for a cosy meal; … Continue reading Making Potato and Leek Soup from 1958
This may sound a little odd but I don't know how to make a cup of coffee. I can brew you a delightful cup of tea that will put a pep in your step but when it comes to making a cup of bean water, I'm at a loss. I'm not a coffee drinker, I … Continue reading Testing Vintage – Breville Melitta Coffee Machine from the 70s
https://youtu.be/0GLWaDAx8V4 When we strap on our aprons and head out on a vintage cooking adventure, we often make some sort of delicious baked good; this year for Valentine's I thought I'd try something a little bit different. As I was going for a bit of a surf on the web (do people still say that … Continue reading Making Vintage Valentine’s Tea from 1947
I'm sure we've all heard the news about the passing of the great Betty White; this iconic woman has been apart of my life and television viewing since I was young so I was very upset to hear about her shuffling off the mortal coil. 2021 just could not go quietly could it? I wanted … Continue reading Making Betty White’s Chicken Wings Bake
You didn't think I would only do one vintage Christmas recipe this year did you? Oh no my love, this year, we are doing two! https://youtu.be/-p_s83g4OAg As i was glitter crashing from my wedding around Christmas time last year, I didn't release a video (only a blog) of any vintage cooking adventures so I thought … Continue reading Tomato Soup Christmas Cake – Vintage Cooking Adventures
It's officially spooky season and every year I try to whip up a vintage Halloween themed recipe because I like to do weird things. Some years we have success and other years ... not so much. I haven't attempted a vintage recipe in a little while and I've been wanting to try a few strange … Continue reading I tried making Vintage Jack-O-Lantern Salad
As a long-time lover of Disney, Cinderella has always held a special place in my heart. Originally released in 1950, it has cemented its way into the fond memory of many and still remains a timeless classic today. The original and the modern remake are always guilty pleasures for me as I love all the … Continue reading Sewing a Vintage Walt Disney Cinderella Apron from 1950
It's been a while since I baked a cake from a vintage recipe and although some attempts were better than others, I thought in order to celebrate St Patricks day, we would all come together to bake an Irish Potato Cake from a 1930's recipe. For those that don't know, I lived in Ireland for … Continue reading Baking a Vintage Irish Potato Cake from 1930
We are all adjusting to a different type of Easter long weekend this year so it's totally okay to try new things or just do very little. To try and boost myself and my mood I thought, let's do some vintage baking. We've done a few vintage recipes already (for Halloween and Valentines Day) and … Continue reading Baking a Vintage Easter Lamb Cake
