Welcome friends, and welcome back to Sunday Morning and The Old Cookbook Show — where we cook our way through history, one vintage recipe at a time! After a summer of flying adventures across Canada (yes, check out our airplane channel for that!), we’re finally back in the kitchen with something truly unique — a 1939 Australian recipe from The Schauer Cookery Book (Improved Eighth Edition).
Today, we’re making Brazilian Stew, a simple, slow-cooked beef dish prepared in a jar — a vintage precursor to today’s “dump-and-stir” crockpot meals. This fascinating recipe combines beef, carrots, onion, and turnip (or swede?), plus that mysterious ingredient simply called “sauce.” Was that HP Sauce? Tomato sauce? Or something else entirely from 1920s Australia? We need your help, Australian friends! 🇦🇺
We’ll also talk about the curious 1930s Australian trend of cooking beef with bananas, and the never-ending debate of turnip vs. rutabaga (or neep or swede).
If you love vintage cookbooks, historical recipes, or classic comfort food cooked the old-fashioned way, this episode is for you. Grab a cup of coffee, settle in for a cozy Sunday morning, and help us unravel a few culinary mysteries from Down Under.
