About Recipe Rewind

Serving Up Memories One Vintage Recipe At A Time

Welcome to Recipe Rewind, your gateway to the kitchens of yesteryear. We don’t just share recipes - we preserve and celebrate the dishes that shaped family gatherings, holidays, potlucks, and everyday meals throughout generations. 

Our mission is to bring a bit of the past into the present, offering a curated collection of vintage and heirloom recipes from the 1800s through the early 2000s - each with its own story, memory, or nostalgia.

On a personal note, I started this blog after the passing of my beloved grandmother, who was the heart and soul of our family’s kitchen - she really loved to cook for people. When I inherited her treasured cookbooks and binders filled with handwritten recipes, I knew I had to continue her kitchen legacy. Each stained page and scribbled note holds stories, flavors, and memories I never want to lose.

Through this blog, I'm pleased to share her recipes alongside other cherished vintage dishes, inviting family and friends to gather around the table.

Recipe Rewind is for people who:

• Love old-fashioned cooking and want to experience flavors that modern kitchens often overlook.
• Appreciate the stories behind recipes whether passed down from Grandma’s recipe box, discovered in a thrift-store cookbook, or shared by a community member.
• Enjoy culinary history and are curious about how food reflected the times, from humble breakfast tables to festive holiday spreads.
• Want to slow down and savor not just whip up the next quick dinner, but connect with the ritual, tradition, and joy of home cooking as it once was.
