Old cookbooks are shocking! Hilarious! Educational! We've come a long way...

"This is easy-going, hi-everybody
sort of fun...Dad's the chef. Sis and Brother kibbitz,
pitch in on tasks their size, have the time of their lives. No kitchen
chores for Mom."
Better Homes and Gardens Barbecue
Book, 1956

"Come on Ladies. Follow
the rules of the kitchen road and watch what the smart homemakers
do...and then even dishwashing will be fun!"
New Art of Buying, Preserving and Preparing Foods, 1935 |

The Culinary
Arts Encyclopedia Cookbook (the new revised edition)
of 1962 offers over 2,000 recipes.
You'll note they don't say good recipes.
More smoked tongue in raisin sauce, anyone?

And if you entertain often,
you don't want to forget the toast.
Recipes on Toast, 1950 shows toast is "distinctive" and makes a "big impression". Why, "it's the easy way to rate high as an amatuer chef!" |
Nathans Famous Hot Dog Cookbook,
1968 has a "continental section".
Because "continental" and "hot dog" just go together,
don't they?
My personal favorite: "hot dog flambe."
| By all means, "experience the wide
and wonderful world of Jell-O Gelatin" today. Imagine...it
can be a dessert or a salad because "Jell-O Gelatin is
many things to many people." What is it to you?
from Joys of Jell-O and the New Joys of Jell-O |
 |
And don't forget, "kitcheneers"-- "go
glamorous.... and be the star in the kitchen setting" today!
Cookbook for Two, 1957
