America in Color - 1939-1943 . . .

Recommended Posts

Just over the weekend, I came across my grandmother's copy of "The Joy of Cooking", circa 1943. I was surprised about two sections when I was reading it. The first was the chapter on cooking every sort of organ from an animal you could think of. I guess nothing went to waste! I didn't believe the recipe for calf brains when it said, "if prepared correctly, it could be quite tasty". :|
The other section that surprised me was the new sugar-free section. It wasn't in there for low-calorie meals, it was there because of rationing. The author reminded everyone that no matter what the circumstances were, they must always remain cheerful when faced with challenges. :)

Mine is from 1953, and it was my grandmother's also. Yeah, I'm amazed at some of the stuff in there as well.
