A Thousand Ways to Please a Husband: with Bettina's Best Recipes

This vintage cookbook reads like a novel, tracing the social lives of fictional newlyweds and interspersing menus for all occasions with household hints and anecdotes about family and friendship. A nostalgic look at homemaking circa 1917, the whimsically illustrated volume is unintentionally hilarious and historically revealing, with many simple and surprisingly relevant recipes.
