Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

The book is cute and vintage, and the colorful photographs and recipe descriptions are delightful.
It was achingly perfect in its simplicity.

What reviewers didn't like

Outdated recipes with outdated ingredients and eggs.
There are recipes for grossly outdated food: more jello salads than anyone could ever need, all manner of ham loaves, a tuna casserole that uses cheese crackers instead of noodles.
