The first half of the twentieth century was a golden age for the recipe booklet. Recipe booklets, or pamphlets, most commonly were made by a food manufacturer or kitchen appliance company and
were given away as a premium to help cooks learn to use that product to best advantage. Given that the recipes carried the brand, justified the purchase, and, if successful, encouraged repeat
use of the product, great effort was made to make the best and tastiest recipes possible. This book features an American favoritethe pie. Included are recipes for apple, pumpkin, banana cream,
coconut cream, lemon meringue, peach, cherry and pecan pies.
