Special Collections is home to a wide variety of books– from pop-up books to teaching manuals, there’s always something new to discover! While there are quite a few cookbooks in Special Collections (ranging from 1894 to 1950), some of the most notable derive from beloved literary characters: such as The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Cookbook (1981), The Narnia Cookbook (1998), Mary Poppins in the Kitchen (1975), and Encyclopedia Brown Takes the Cake! (1983).
These cookbooks feature many recipes easy for young chefs and bakers to understand and create, as well as classic recipes for everyday use. While these cookbooks contain a variety of dishes, it's the cookie recipes that stand out as timeless classics, both for holidays and gatherings. Cookies seem to have a unique way of bringing a touch of magic to any event, whether it’s a cozy afternoon at home or a festive celebration. The specific cookies in this post are not only easy to make but also carry a sense of nostalgia and creativity from their respective stories.
