I love books…I have over a thousand! I also love cookbooks…and even more so I love vintage books/cookbooks!
When I saw the opportunity to review the 50th anniversary edition of the I hate to cook book by Peg Bracken
I knew I had to check it out.
Honestly, cooking gets on my nerves for the most part. even more so trying to figure out what to cook is something that gets on my nerves. So basically I do hate to cook!
With 3 million copies sold, and being 50 years old, I knew that this book had to be good! It is broken into 13 sections + a equivalents section. There are sections on everything from luncheons, to little kids parties!
One of my favorite sections was the section of household hints! there were some awesome hints in this section!!
This book to have been written 50 years ago, is exceptionally still relevant today. Back then women were expected to do so much more around the house. Now a days you share that responsibility with others, including your children, you significant other. it isn’t all put on you. I honestly think that this book was ahead of its time. It was most like a revolution in that it was showing these women that you that you didn’t have to work hard to keep your house in perfect running order. You didn’t have to spend all day to cook a perfect meal.
The book reads easy as well. It is almost like reading a story as you go along. I am very much looking forward to trying out the many recipes, hints and such that are in this book. I am always looking for new recipes, and this book will greatly help me with that search. There is a touch of humor throughout the book as well. It really is interesting to read through!
