About Salvaged Recipes

Salvaged Recipes began with a single, weathered box of recipe cards discovered in a vintage shop. What started as a curiosity quickly became a passion project, collecting, preserving, and celebrating the handwritten and typed treasures of home cooks from decades past.

We believe that if someone took the time to write down a recipe, it must have been worth remembering. Each card holds a story, a flavor, a moment in time.

At Salvaged Recipes, we’re proud to share this ever-growing collection with you. Every recipe is carefully scanned and restored, with some given new life through AI-generated images that reimagine how the dish might have looked on the original table. Whether you're here to discover forgotten favorites or just explore the past one bite at a time, we hope you find something deliciously nostalgic.
