      Do you have any good cookboks about cooking for large groups? I’d legitimately love to add one to my collection. There’s definitely a different approach needed for it than every day cooking or even dinner party cooking

        I do actually. But it’s very very old and it goes on about things like tapioca pudding and instructs you to put lard into everything, and all the instructions are in Imperial units except when it instructs you to put in “some salt” or a “moderate amount of lemon juice”, and you just have to guess, so a certain amount of mental rewriting is required.

        It’s for cooking school meals for kids. I think it was written in the 1950s and I don’t think it would include anything as exotic as pasta.

          Do you mind sharing the title or a pic of the cover? My wife actually collects old cookbooks and that sounds like a birthday present she’d love
