It describes those situations as well as the food, so that you are offered specific suggestions for what and how to serve when somebody's going to be late of dinner, or an unexpected guest turns up, or you're the committee chairman for the annual church supper, or hostess at an outdoor barbecue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's designed so you can read along in the \"story' while keeping an eye on the menus and recipes each situation suggests. Or you can study the recipes, and find nearby a description of the the time and place they can be most useful to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[FROM BOOKLADY COOKS] While we have no desire to live the life of a 1950's housewife -- we love having the choice to hold any job we like, have a checking account and own property in our own names, we love reading about the food, the menus and the stories. The illustrations are so much fun, too -- while the recipes might be the same ones in a contemporary cookbook, the presentations scream Midcentury Modern!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHow about this \"Elegant Buffet for Twelve?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRuby Consommé\u003cbr\u003eGlazed Caviar and Cream Cheese Canapés\u003cbr\u003eDecorate Baked Ham    Beef Strogonoff\u003cbr\u003eSweet Potato Rosettes in Orange Cups\u003cbr\u003eGreen Beans and Celery\u003cbr\u003eSavory Browned Rice\u003cbr\u003eWatermelon Pickles    Celery Hearts\u003cbr\u003eArtichoke Salad\u003cbr\u003eHot Rolls\u003cbr\u003eCherries Jubilee with Ice Cream\u003cbr\u003eMint Patties    Salted Nuts\u003cbr\u003eDemitasse\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVINTAGE HARDCOVER - GOOD CONDITION - some wear on the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VNSA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50710343549121,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/5445\/8561\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_c6b068fe-e093-4eb4-bb51-5929c698488e.jpg?v=1791572689","url":"https:\/\/bookladycooks.com\/products\/the-general-foods-kitchens-cookbook","provider":"Booklady Cooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
