Hello, 1960. One of the first things I learned to cook. Pot roast with Lipton French Onion Soup mix. Bracken calls it Sweep Roast because the recipe "swept" the country in the 1950's. One of my mom's go to dinners. I ditched the packet on this one and used low sodium soy sauce, onion powder, onions, and beef broth. And fruit salad with chutney cream (yogurt) for dessert.
A classic from the 1960's and beyond, this vintage, 1960 edition of Peg Bracken's cookbook for “those of us who want to fold our big dishwater hands around a dry Martini instead of a wet flounder."
Some women, it is said, like to cook.This book is not for them.This book is for those of us who hate to, who have learned, through hard experience, that some activities become no less painful through repetition: childbearing, paying taxes, cooking.These recipes have not been tested by experts. That is why they are valuable. Experts in their sunny spotless test kitchens can make anything taste good. bet even we can make these taste good!--- Peg Bracken
