Welcome to Dusty Recipes! I'm Lynzee, the archivist and curator behind Dusty Recipes. As a child of the 1990’s, I have fond memories of spending time in my grandmother’s kitchen where I used to rummage through boxes filled with handwritten recipes, many of which her grandmother had penned down. Each one of those old recipe cards was more than just ingredients, they were stories, memories, and a warm hug. Dusty Recipes is my way of saving recipes that are bound to be forgotten soon and sharing them with all. Every recipe—be it a sweet treat, a savory dinner or someone’s holiday favorite—has an interesting backstory, and they are all researched and resurrected—often with some help from an AI-generated vintage illustration. With every post, I scan and upload images of the original handwritten recipes that maintain their original feel. I then fill in all the blanks so that recipes are what modern audiences want: that means adding calorie counts, prep times, serving sizes, and anything else I can that makes the cooking easer these days. Having chronic health issues, such as Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and arthritis, I find great pleasure and peace in the slow and comfy speed of archiving and sharing the recipes. Making Dusty Recipes is more than a passion to me – it is a comforting escape through history and a warm hug from the past. You can explore Dusty Recipes and use any recipes completely free of charge. If you appreciate my work and want to continue seeing these priceless recipes preserved, please consider subscribing to my Substack, leaving a comment, or sharing a valuable recipe of yours with someone else. I appreciate you helping to keep these memories alive. Warmest regards,. Lynzee
