@KarmaKBrown @PenguinRandomCA Thank you! There is nothing better than talking about a fabulous book and it is made even better when it is with a fabulous author.
@PenguinRandomCA From the 2020 vantage point the suggestions were quite hilarious, but also somewhat said that those really were the expectations for women and that they should strive to be the perfect wife
@PenguinRandomCA Baked Alaska was actually a family recipe so that brought back lovely memories. I read the ebook version so did not any of the actual recipes in the book. I loved the handvwritten notes. I have a cookbook with my Great Grandmother's handwriting...although I never met her.
@PenguinRandomCA Some recipes definitely reflected the era. Some were family recipes. Some of my most treasured recipes come from my grandmother and are tied to memories of family celebrations or simply everyday life.
