Vintage Occident/King Midas Collector's Bake Book. Good condition, shows age and wear. There is writing on the first page and what looks like rust on the spine.
Delve into the rich history of American home baking with this Vintage Occident/King Midas Collector's Bake Book. This spiral-bound cookbook was originally produced as a promotional item for King Midas Flour, a brand with deep roots in the Midwest milling industry. The cover is illustrated with vibrant, full-color photography showcasing a variety of traditional treats, from golden-brown yeast breads and muffins to intricate fruit tarts and crumb-topped pies.
Inside, you will find a treasure trove of reliable, time-tested recipes designed specifically for use with high-quality bread and all-purpose flours. This book serves as both a practical kitchen resource and a charming piece of mid-century kitchen decor. It is a fantastic gift for cookbook collectors, historians of advertising ephemera, or anyone who enjoys the rustic charm of old-fashioned baking techniques. The spiral binding allows the book to lay flat on a counter, making it easy to follow along while you whip up a classic dessert or a fresh batch of dinner rolls.
This book is vintage, over 40 years old. While it appears to be in the good condition stated, please note that it shows age and wear consistent with use in a kitchen, including writing on the first page and some oxidation on the spiral spine. There is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
