Yankee’s Best Lost and Vintage Recipes
Recipes tell a story. Not in the familiar sense–there are no plot points in the ingredients list, no surprise endings in the method (except, maybe, when it comes to soufflés). But if you step back and look at recipes over time and as a whole, they tell a rich story about how people lived: how, […]

I am searching for an egg bread recipe fy Leslie Land printed in Yankee Magazine in the 1970’s or 1980’s.
Would you help my search by forwarding the index to her cookbooks.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Betsy. We might need a bit more information first. Was the bread similar to a challah? Some, but not all, of the Yankee recipes have been archived, but we’re happy to take a look!
ISO kiffle recipe from an old Yankee Magazine, can only remember there was a squirrel on the cover
ISO Great Foods of New England Article from 1990’s dealing with original, historical Thanksgiving recipes. Any help will be appreciated!
I am hoping you could help me locate a Thanksgiving turkey recipe published in Yankee back in the early 1970’s. (I’m guessing 1970- 1974) The name of the recipe was Noble Roman Bird. My mom and myself have tried unsuccessfully to find it. It was the best turkey and gravy I’ve ever had and I’ve brined mine for years!
Thanks for your help-

Hi
I had an amazing pumpkin pie recipe from Yankee. I decided to FINALLY take just the recipe out of the magazine (after years of having it) and now I’ve lost the pages! It was a pumpkin pie with an almost pecan pie like topping. It had apple butter in it, I remember having to use a 10″ pie plate. You had to cook the pie long & slow, then make the pecan topping, then pour it on after baking. It was the best pie ever (combining almost 2 of my favorite pies). I haven’t made it now in 2 years, because I lost it and it was one I made 2 of every year. It was becoming MY Thanksgiving tradition pie. The recipe was probably about 10 years ago (maybe)?! The issue also had the pie crust recipe with it. Any help would be great. Thank you

I had a fantastic gingerbread recipe from your magazine from the 70’s that I lost a number of years ago while moving. I’ve never found a recipe that compared It
Hi Mary! Was it gingerbread cookies or gingerbread cake? I’d be glad to track it down for you in our archives if I can!
This summer I made a molasses blueberry cake that was the best (perhaps in the August issue). I’ve lost the recipe and would love to make it again. Can you help me?
Hello Linda, this is the link to the Molasses Blueberry Cake from our May/June 2016 Issue, https://newengland.com/today/food/blueberry-molasses-cake/
I am so excited to find out that Yankee Magazine still exists. My mother subscribed to it for years and now I will be doing that, too. Way back in the 70’s or 80’s there was a recipe for a Mexican style turkey. The turkey was boned, enchilada sauce was used as a glaze(?) and it had a corn tortilla stuffing. It might have been called Turkey Ole. In the same issue there were instructions on how to bone a Turkey, which was really useful. I would really appreciate it if you can locate that recipe and send it to me. Thank you
Hello, Marnett! We’re so glad to hear from you! We tracked the recipe you’re referring to back to our November, 1980 issue. You were close — it was called “Gobble Ole.” We were happy to put it in our digital database for you, and will try to get the deboning instructions up and onto the site next. Enjoy! https://newengland.com/today/food/main-dishes/poultry/gobble-ole-mexican-turkey/
