Such an interesting cookbook! It even has a section in the back on how to feed a family of five on $15 per week. Times (and finances) have changed a bit, but the advice is still useful. As with many things from the Delineator Institute (which is where the cookbook originated), it's well thought out, sensible, and filled with recipes that are good, every day food.

The illustrations are lovely.

(I gave this to a friend today, who will use it far more than I would have.) ( )

This is the first cookbook Mariko ever loved. It was brought home by her father who was a chef when she was a child. Mariko liked the pictures in the book and has collected cookbooks ever since.
