Cooking for all seasons

I enjoyed the spread of seasonal cooking ideas, and monthly factoids

So nostalgic and functional

I love this reprint of the 1962 edition. It has a monthly calendar for entering birthdays, etc. and contains interesting tips about the month(like seasonal vegetables and historical events). Each month begins with interesting tips and facts about the month(i.e. February...."Although it is still a month of wintry cold, you can bring a breath of spring to February. As soon as the forsythia, magnolia, or flowering quince buds begin to swell, bring the cut branches inside for forcing. Stand them in in a deep vase with plenty of water at room temperature, perhaps near the register. It will take ten days for the stalks to blossom out." If you are a baby boomer,you will enjoy the step back in time.
