My goodness, cooking was an exhausting process even back in the 1950s and 60s! The number of recipes that had to be cooked over a double boiler in this book is positively intimidating. Thank Heaven for the microwave!

This was a quaint read... I enjoyed the peek into life 'back then' more than I enjoyed the recipes, which were too futsy for our taste.

I so enjoyed her "cookbooks"-the humorous anecdotes of life in New England in the early to mid 20th century are well worth the read; the recipes are dated but fun!
