About Vintage by The Bite
Vintage by the Bite is your go-to spot for home bakers, retro cooks, and vintage lovers who cherish nostalgia and are passionate about preserving vintage food culture, kitchen tales, and mid-century food traditions.
The site is divided three ways: digital downloads for your recipe binders from my own collections, kitschy blogs celebrating flavors from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, and recipe preservation for historical and educational purposes.
Take a stroll through recipes that spark warm childhood memories with a dash of humor about the quirks of vintage cooking.

Why did you start a vintage food blog?
Thanks for asking, the idea for Vintage by The Bite came from a time when I wanted to serve a big retro dinner with drinks, appetizers and desserts.
I couldn’t find a place that had all retro recipes in one spot or by course, so I officially started working on this site October 2022.
The aim of this website is to create a space where users can dive into vintage recipes, curate their own "retro menu," and discover the intriguing backstory of various recipes.
Beyond the kitchen, you'll find inspiration for retro home ideas and tips on shopping for vintage.
