A new book out this fall from the Wisconsin Historical Society Press lets you browse through time with 50 retro recipes that originally ran in Wisconsin newspapers.
“Extra! Extra! Eat All About It! Recipes and Culinary Curiosities From Historic Wisconsin Newspapers” began as a digitizing project for historians and co-authors Jane Conway and Randi Julia Ramsden, then became a collectible cookbook revealing a broad range of culinary trends and quirky cultural fads and phenomena. Sift through the stories behind the recipes — things like banana salad (Mineral Point Tribune, 1916), creamed potatoes (Iowa County Democrat, 1918) and Baked Cowpeas and Cheese (Northern Wisconsin Advertiser, 1921) — while perusing essays illustrated by original newspaper clippings and both new and historical photographs. $30, shop.wisconsinhistory.org/extra-extra-eat-all-about-it
