On the search for a vintage cookbook!!

[Katie H]

I am looking for anyone who might have a "Better Homes & Gardens" cookbook from the late '50s to early '60s. I'm searching for a recipe that

might be in those issues.

The recipe is for "Marshmallow Pumpkin Pie." It is NOT a baked pie but more a chiffon pie.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have already posed this question to my friends on Facebook. With any luck, I'll get an answer.

It's not from a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, but I googled "marshmallow pumpkin pie" and found this as the first result. If it's not what you're looking for, I'll look at some of the other results I got.

No Bake Marshmallow Pumpkin Pie

No bake marshmallow pumpkin pie is a sweet and fluffy twist to classic pumpkin pie. Marshmallow, Cool whip, and pumpkin in a graham cracker crust.

@Katie H have you looked here:

All Editions of Better Homes & Gardens New Cook Book | ThriftBooks

or here:

Browse | New & Used Books from ThriftBooks

I've found old cook books here several times

I searched my BH&G cookbook that I've had since we married (1971, and I don't think it was a new edition then). No Marsmallow Pumpkin Pie recipe in my cookbook.
Good luck with your search, and sorry I couldn't help.

Better Homes & Gardens runs ongoing recipe contests in which you turn over the rights to your recipes when you enter. They incorperate those recipes into cookbooks. They have published many many hardback cookbooks throughout the years. Your chiffon pie recipe may also be a Kraft recipe.

No, not a Kraft one. My grandmother attributes it to Better Homes & Gardens.

I am looking for anyone who might have a "Better Homes & Gardens" cookbook from the late '50s to early '60s. . .

Many years ago, I was also looking for a recipe from an old BH&G cookbook. I simply wrote an email to BH&G describing the recipe and they responded by mailing me a page out of the cookbook with the recipe. It's worth a try.

I have a lot of BH&G cookbooks, but apparently not the one you need. Sigh. But I've done some searching online. I found a recipe that sounds like it might be similar, Marshmallow Pumpkin Pie 1 and here's another one: Marshmallow Pumpkin Pie 2 - maybe one of them is close?

 

[Paid In Grapes]

Would this be it? From the New BH&G reprint of the 1953 book.

Sorry, even though these sound good, not it.

Did you see the post right after Ginny's post?

@Paid In Grapes, that one sounds great whether it is right or not! Nice find!

This is the same recipe from my Mom's 1939 edition of the BH&G Cook Book. It's titled "Pumpkin Chiffon Pie".

Without seeing the recipe, I couldn't say.

Can't you see the photo that Paid in Grapes posted? It's a picture of the page in the book with the recipe.

My BH&G cookbook has the same recipe that Paid in Grapes posted, comment #10.
