A picture is worth 1000 words

This is a review of the first edition (ninth printing). I inherited this book from my parents. This book contains enough photographs and diagrams that it could’ve been a video of its time. I tried several recipes, and they still work. However, this book is more than recipes that tell how to measure and the meaning of the different technical words used in such recipes. Even if you don't use this cookbook for its intended purpose, it's a keeper just to see how people thought in 1950. Seven years before “Leave It to Beaver,” it features a well-dressed family sitting at the table. This book is still practical, but can also be used as a conversation piece if mysteriously found on your coffee table.
