As I've mentioned a few times before, I've started work on my next cookbook project — a collection of veganized retro recipes from the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. I've only just begun, but I've managed to create a few vegan adaptations of recipes found in old cookbooks or on websites devoted to vintage food.
Awhile back, I made this simple, veggie-heavy Calico Coleslaw, adapted from the 1965 Better Homes & Gardens Vegetable Cookbook:
Since I don't have a publisher or contract for this one yet, I can share a few recipes if I want. So I'll pass this one along to you guys.
Calico Coleslaw
----------------------
4 cups shredded green cabbage
1/2 cup vegan mayo
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
1/4 cup green pepper, minced
1/4 of a white onion, finely minced
4-ounce jar diced pimentos, drained
1 tsp. salt
Mix everything together in a large mixing bowl. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

that looks so yummy! i love coleslow ;)
Have you considered self publishing - you can do it on the kindle pretty easily (I'm being FYI I want this cookbook and there are not many cookbooks I will deem worthy of owning...)
Coleslaw with corn! Love it!
Yum! Reminds me of coleslaw I used to eat as a kid....haven't had it in years / forgot all about it. I'll make it tonight, thanks!
That is very Pennsylvania Dutch (who are actually not Dutch, but German) looking!
I've never heard of corn in coleslaw, but it sure is pretty!
dude, veganizing vintage?! brilliant. what's the ETA on this cookbook?
I love retro recipes! My favorites come from old church cookbooks.
This is a fab idea, too. I wonder why this didn't stay popular?
Will def have to give this a try. Love the addition of corn! :)
