II. Plate Costs
What a plate costs now versus then.
These cooks fed households when money ran thin. Store prices moved. The math of stretching a pantry did not.
How 2026 sells dinner

- Historic-themed restaurant dinner$45–$75
- Steakhouse prime rib (two)$80–$120
- Food history book (single era)$35–$50

Inside the $59 complete set
Five hundred recipes across five books. Each entry carries its decade, a photo when we could make it look right, a ballpark grocery cost for today, and the quiet kitchen tip that rarely made the typed card.
