Twenty-Five Cent Dinners for Families of Six


Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(3.8 stars; 2 reviews)

Juliet Corson has put together a few books on economic housekeeping, and this is a fine example. Almost 150 years after publication (1878), it has become quite impossible to feed anyone on 25 cents, but the principles on how to cook economically have not changed much. In any case, modern readers can still enjoy the recipes Ms Corson has compiled, and learn from her introductory notes. - Summary by Carolin (3 hr 11 min)

You Get What You Pay For


(2.5 stars)

The point of this book is economy, so it is most useful for the ideas and techniques than specific recipes. Part of the problem is that tastes have changed, so these seem bland, overcooked, and double the salt we use now.
