The Vintage Recipe Blog for Nostalgic Cooking
Recipe Rewind preserves the American recipes that shaped family tables, from handwritten recipe cards and community cookbooks to the cakes, casseroles, cookies, and comfort food people still talk about years later.
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Chip Cookies: The 1985 Cookbook Find That Left Toll House Tasting Bare
Open the Yuppie-genre Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook and you might land on Bloody Mary soup, goat cheese popovers, or baked lima beans with gingersnaps. But the chocolate chip cookie recipe is the one I've been making since 1985.
Rocky mountain chocolate chip cookies turn one chilled bowl of dough into 50 large, oat-studded, walnut-heavy cookies with browned edges and soft middles, and the same batch stretches to 100 small cookies for a cookie swap or a bake sale.
Vintage Recipes For Today's Kitchen
There's a difference between wanting to get dinner done and wanting to make dinner. Both are valid. Recipe Rewind is for the second kind of day, the one where cooking is where you want to spend your time, not just get through it.
Recipe Rewind is a vintage recipe blog for anyone who loves old-fashioned, from-scratch cooking. Each classic American recipe comes with some of the history behind it, clear step-by-step instructions, and the technique that makes it work, so you can cook nostalgic favorites in a modern kitchen with confidence.

A smell from the oven can put you right back at a table you thought you'd forgotten. We're here to keep that door open, so you can create a few new memories to go with the old ones.
