Seventeen Cookbook
ABOUT THIS BOOK -- 1964's The Seventeen Cookbook is not just a little reprint of some cooking ideas from the magazine. Instead, this is a mid-century guide to all things food for America's teenage girl, weighing in at 430 pp! BOOK DETAILS -- An appropriately girly pink linen cloth-bound hardback with red details and a sewn binding. B&w line drawings and some fairly garish color plates. The dustjacket is double-thick and folds out into a color illustrated calendar "poster" depicting 12 months of teen parties. Like many pop culture artifacts from the mid-1960's, this book has one foot firmly planted in the visual and cultural traditions of the 1950's. INSIDE THIS BOOK -- "Three cookbooks in one." The Beginner's Cookbook, The Day-by-Day Cookbook, and, since "cooking is a convivial art," 146 pp of The Party Cookbook.

✔️Published in 1964.
🖊 My review: While I was looking for old Seventeen magazines in e-book format, I came across this Seventeen Magazine cookbook. What a tasty read this is! I found a few different recipes for my own use, such as various salad dressings, Hawaiian Curry, Turkey Casserole, and Dagwood Juniors (a tea sandwich). There are full color illustrations of the finished foods. 💫 What I like best is the surprise of finding this. 📌 I would read this again.
