“It’s an artifact from an earlier era when women were expected to be artists of the kitchen.”
Yes it is. This cook book even told you HOW to set a table etc.
Sometimes I wish society would go back to those times. Where women were women and men were men. Having etiquette etc.
Oh shoot I just noticed that cookbook on Amazon is unavailable. There are a few that come up when you do an Amazon search on it.
Lol Spunky, I remember reading a cookbook and one of the first directions it gave was this:
“Remember, before your husband gets homes from work, make sure you have on a clean shire, your hair is combed properly, and you have a smile on your face with which to greet him.”
It was a very old cookbook!
Lol they’d hang someone today for saying such a thing!
