>Recovered Recipes is dedicated to showcasing and sharing historical recipes. I believe there is beauty in recipes which are written down, splattered with a lifetime of cooking, and frayed by use and re-use. Old recipes have a soul and often give insight into the cook, as well as the recipe they depict.

Sadly, many of these recipes are in danger of becoming extinct due to modern technology. I've rescued the 13 recipes remaining from my great-grandmother's estate and use them as my starting point in building this online collection. I am continuing to expand this online collection by sharing recipes I've collected from friends and family, or ones which I've purchased.


Who created this site?
My name is Allen and I grew up reading my mother's old recipe books and loved snooping through the recipe box. I started Recovered Recipes due to my fascination with and enjoyment of reading/viewing old recipes.
