Tested Recipes for the Modern Homemaker  ·  Est. 1954

Welcome, dear! These are my most-requested recipes — every single one made with the wonderful new convenience foods that save us so many hours in the kitchen. Modern science has given us marvelous shortcuts, and I believe in using every last one of them! A can opener and a good set of molds are the most important tools a homemaker can own in 1954. Flip through, find something that strikes your fancy for tonight's supper, and remember — if it comes out beautifully, it is skill; if it does not, it is an experiment. Either way, smile when you serve it!
