At this point in the winter, it feels like this miserable cold is not going anywhere. It's the kind of cold that makes you want to curl up with the biggest bowls of macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and hearty chili you can find.

But, as revealed to us in our very own archives, it's also the kind of weather that used to spur very different cravings several decades back. In other words, our idea of soul-warming food (think slow-cooked soups and spiced lattes) has come a long way since the 30s.

We took a look back at an issue from 1934 for a few cold-weather menu suggestions. And while some of our modern favorites were nowhere to be found, at least these are "tasted, tested, and approved in the institute kitchens" we still love today.
