Praise For The Cook
Proctor & Gamble Company
1959
Yes, we have another retro cookbook for everyone. Crisco (Proctor and Gamble) are the sponsors of this gem. Not too fond of some of these recipes. I think my mom probably trotted out a few of these back when I was a kid. I think many of these should stay in the past. I included the “best”. Vegetarians, you will be excited that there is a meatless tomato casserole for you. (yum?) I would also like to suggest taking a peek at Retro Recipe Attempts. (She actually took the Surprise Meatloaf Recipe from this post and made it for her family.)
Cookbooks are so cool as collectibles and these types of books/ephemera belong in archives. For public libraries, not so much. Personally, I hate spiral bound stuff for regular circulation. They just don’t hold up over time.
