Description

Overview: This book contains 430 recipes from the mid-1900’s, compiled from recipes from the kitchen of the author’s mother, after her death. It serves as a source not only for recipes that are as good today as they were back then, but also as a historical reference to methods of preparation and cooking, as well as brands used at the time. The mixer was the newest thing on the market, but many cooks still used a hand-mixing technique to mix batters for cakes, and a fork to beat meringues for pies. Some cooks were just changing from a wood-burning stove to an electric or gas range. The microwave was still a thing of the future, as was the food processor. And there were no cooking shows on the small black-and-white TV’s that dotted only a few American households at that time.
