The OldTime Brand Name Cookbook Author:Bunny Crumpacker The Old-Time Brand-Name Cookbook evokes a warm picture of cozy, sit-down family meals, comforting foods, and good old-fashioned charm. Even if this image is a little kitschy, Bunny Crumpacker's book provides a soothing escape into yesteryear. — She collects more than 70 recipes--all replicating meals from the 1890s to the 1940s. The only differen... more »ce between then and now is that today's chefs have the luxury of electronic food processors and large supermarkets. No longer are cooks chained to the kitchen sink!
Crumpacker's recipes require the most basic of ingredients --found in the most spartan pantry-- such as a nutritious recipe for a soothing pot of Cream of Onion Soup that takes only 20 minutes and requires nothing more than broth, milk, rice, and onions.
The featured deserts are scrumptious and simple--say hello to Jell-o with a concoction for Pineapple Bavarian Cream, and if you have room left, indulge yourself with a bowl of Chocolate Bread Pudding.
Color pictures of well-known food icons (Heinz soup, Libby's mustard, Borden's evaporated milk) illustrate this chatty and informative book throughout. Turn back the clock and eat food like Mama used to make!« less
