{"product_id":"2940149507221","title":"Fifty Two Sunday Dinners","description":"Fifty Two Sunday Dinner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eT0 the modern wide-awake, twentieth-century woman efficiency in household matters is quite as\u003cbr\u003emuch a problem as efficiency in business is to the captains of industry.\u003cbr\u003eHow to make pure food, better food and to economize on the cost of same is just now taxing\u003cbr\u003ethe attention and ingenuity of domestic science teachers and food experts generally. The average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehousewife is intensely interested in the result of these findings, and must keep in touch with\u003cbr\u003ethem to keep up with the times and run her home in an intelligent and economical as well as\u003cbr\u003ehealthful routine.\u003cbr\u003eThe eternal feminine question is, \"What shall we have for dinner to-day?\" It is not always the\u003cbr\u003eeasiest thing in the world to think of a seasonable menu, nor to determine just the right\u003cbr\u003ecombination that will furnish a meal appetizing and well-balanced in food values. Furthermore,\u003cbr\u003eboth the expense and the amount of work entailed in preparation must be considered.\u003cbr\u003eThis Cook Book is especially designed to meet just that pressing daily need of the housewife.\u003cbr\u003eIt presents for her guidance a menu for every Sunday dinner in the year; it suggests dishes which\u003cbr\u003eare seasonable as well as practical; it tells in a simple, intelligent manner just how these dishes\u003cbr\u003ecan be made in the most wholesome and economical form; and the recipes have all been\u003cbr\u003eespecially made for this book and tested by that eminent expert, Mrs. Elizabeth O. Hiller.\u003cbr\u003eThe title of \"52 Sunday Dinners\" has been given the book because Sunday dinners as a rule\u003cbr\u003eare a little more elaborate than the other dinners of the week, but from these menus may be\u003cbr\u003egleaned helpful hints for daily use.\u003cbr\u003eWhile climatic conditions differ somewhat in various sections of the country, we have tried to\u003cbr\u003eapproximate the general average, so\u003cbr\u003ethat the suggestions might be as valuable to the housewife\u003cbr\u003e[4]\u003cbr\u003ein New England as to the housewife in the West or South, or vice versa.\u003cbr\u003eSimplicity, economy and wholesomeness have been given preferred attention in the\u003cbr\u003epreparation of these recipes, many of which are here presented for the first time.\u003cbr\u003eIn the interest of health and economy a number of the recipes suggest the use of Cottolene—a\u003cbr\u003efrying and shortening medium of unquestioned purity—in place of butter or lard. Cottolene is a\u003cbr\u003evegetable shortening, pure in source and manufactured amid cleanly favorable surroundings. It is\u003cbr\u003eno new, untried experiment, having been used by domestic science experts and thousands of\u003cbr\u003ehousewives for nearly twenty years; to them Cottolene for shortening and frying is \"equal to\u003cbr\u003ebutter at half the price, better and more healthful than lard—and more economical than either.\"\u003cbr\u003eWe, therefore, offer no apologies for the small proportion of recipes specif ying the use of\u003cbr\u003eCottolene, and suggest that a trial will convince any housewife that Cottolene makes better food\u003cbr\u003ethan either butter or lard, and is preferable from the standpoints of efficiency, economy and\u003cbr\u003ehealthfulness.\u003cbr\u003eWe commend this book to your critical inspection and test, believing you will find it\u003cbr\u003econvenient, helpful, unique and pointing the way to better and more economical living.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alan Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075583361264,"sku":"2940149507221","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149507221_p0.jpg?v=1763726010","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149507221","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
