Egg and Cheese, Spaghetti and Rice Dishes

Jul 22nd, 2010 by admin | 0

Good Housekeeping’s Egg and Cheese, Spaghetti and Rice Dishes - tempting, satisfying and flavor-filled, published in 1958.

I love this series from Good Housekeeping magazine, and have many in the series.  I do believe that one of the cookbooks in this series is partly responsible for my vintage cookbook addiction.

Here we have a long and somewhat clumsy title, Egg and Cheese, Spaghetti and Rice Dishes done in a fun, upbeat font.  This is a fun cookbook, you can just tell.  Shall we guess at what the cover photo is?

As is the case with most or all of the cookbooks in this series, this one is filled with wild and wacky illustrations by Jerry Warshaw. It is also filled with some okay looking food photography of some of the wacky recipes.  [On a side note, if anyone has a definitive resource for Jerry Warshaw and his great art, please let me know.]

Looking for a recipe for Bunwhiches? You’ll find it here!  Or those Hi-Yi sandwiches your mom made for you when you were a kid? Yup, it is here also. Or maybe you’ve always pondered “Can I put spaghetti in my omelet?”  Yes, you can find the answer to that question and many more in Egg and Cheese, Spaghetti and Rice Dishes!

Obviously this baby is another fun filled vintage cookbook which I am very please to have in my collection, and to share with the World of vintage cookbook fans, addicts, and zealots!

Drat! I don’t think I have enough cheese, eggs or spaghetti in the house to make any of these recipes for dinner tonight.  Ya know… some of these recipes actually look vaguely appealing!
