Still look for Christmas gift ideas? Well . . . one idea in the December, 1922 issue of American Cookery was to give subscriptions to the magazine. And, the price was right at only $1.50 for a one-year subscription.
1922 Gift Idea – A Subscription to American Cookery
A Hundred Years Ago 
I fall for these ads every time! ; )
Wonder if they were the “Cooks”magazine of yesteryear?
Maybe – The cover of American Cookery Magazine says that it was “fomerly The Boston Cooking School Magazine of Culinary Schience and Domestic Economics.”
What a bargain! I’m subscribing now! A very happy Christmas to you and your family and all good wishes for 2023.
Merry Christmas!
I’m signing up too!
It’s a great deal! 🙂
1.20 was a lot of money back in 1922
There’s been a lot of inflation over that last hundred years!
I wonder what the recipes were like?
I’ve made numerous recipes that appeared in various issues of American Cookery magazine. The recipes generally are nice and turn out well – though some seem out-of-fashion or old-fashioned.
I used to give Taste of Home magazine subscriptions to my mother and sisters…. but not any more.
I also used to sometimes give magazine subscriptions though haven’t recently – though I have given electronic subscriptions to newspapers recently.
