CONWAY — When I was 30 and living on Cape Cod, a friend gave me a 1947 copy of “The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book,” otherwise known as “The Fannie Farmer Cookbook.” I still have it.

It’s old and stained and held together with duct tape, but I love it. It has recipes like “Browned Creamed Dried Beef” and “Victor Hugo Sauce” (made with vinegar and shallots and horseradish).
