I was pretty pleased when I found a couple of recipes tucked in the front cover of this book by its previous owner. I like seeing a little of the personality of whoever else has enjoyed a cookbook.
Their table of contents is pretty straightforward, and they cover a lot of ground.
(and here, my camera died, so I had to take up using another while the batteries recharge.)
There are plenty of pretty pictures, obviously from the 1970s, judging by the layout and colors.I need to try this Chiffon Pie. My dearly beloved will whine that I'm making him fat, and I'll be able to smugly inform him that it contains minimal sugar.
Recipes from all over, including a pretty long story about beef enchiladas. Who knew that enchiladas have their own story?
And a goodly section about recipes from the Old Country(ies).
This is Cookbook Wednesday, which I'm hosting while Louise is on sabbatical with her family.

Thank you for linking me! I love finding things tucked into old cookbooks too. Sometimes the notes and clipped recipes are at least as entertaining as what's actually in the cookbook!
How many cookbooks do you have?, and how/where do you store/display them? I have lots of them, but your collections rivals mine!
I love it! The notes and clippings are the best...
Love old cookbooks, esp with the clippings tucked in.
I love looking through older cookbooks. It's fun to see how some recipes fads have come and gone and how some have stood the test of time. It looks like a good cookbook.
I love to find parts of people's personalities too!
I did not get something made in time this week. I was gone for a few days and it just didn't work out. I'll be back next week tho!
I'm rather intrigued by the beef enchilada story -- read as much as I could.
I'm getting really close to believing you really like cookbooks.
I love the old cook books, I have found some really special recipes in some of them. Have a great weekend Diane
