Funny photos from old cookbooks (18 photos)

These days, cooking shows emphasize that to get the most out of a dish, it's not just the taste that matters, but also how it's presented. Beautiful presentation can dramatically change the perception of a dish, so every detail matters - from the arrangement of food on the plate to the plate itself.

Let's see how people proposed serving their culinary masterpieces.
