I have recipe books from that era and most of them are either excellent and timeless learning resources, or dubious cookbooks with characters that look like they want to poison me. No in between.
My favorite old cookbook is a wine cook book. The author is an obvious and unrepentant alcoholic that perfectly demonstrates the time period it was written in. One of the recipes was literally "melt a bunch of cheese and stir in wine while it cools, then pour the wine cheese into a loaf pan to solidify", encouraging you to have a glass while you do so.
