Selections from Aunt Sammy's Radio Recipes and USDA Favorites

"Selections from Aunt Sammy's Radio Recipes and USDA Favorites" by Ruth Van Deman et al. is a cookbook and a look back at how American families cooked and ate, featuring recipes from the late 1920s and the 1970s. It's like stepping back in time to when radio shows taught people how to cook, especially with the USDA's "Housekeeper's Chat," giving you a feel for what it was like to be a homemaker back then. You will discover recipes from many categories such as soups, main courses, and desserts showcasing things like onion soup au gratin and chocolate souffle. The book is practical, too, because it explains how to make meals that are both good for you and don't cost too much, reflecting a world where families needed to be smart with their food and money.
