Lost Recipes Meals to Share with Friends and Family A Cookbook [Hardcover]

From:Marion Cunningham
To:The American home cook
Subject (URGENT):The family table

We need to lure our families, friends, and neighbors back to the table, to sit down and eat together. It is important that we be in charge again of our cooking, working with fresh, unadulterated ingredients. Enclosed you will find many simple-to-make, good-tasting, inexpensive dishes from the past that taste better than ever today. I urge you to try them.

· Good soups—satisfying one-dish meals that can be made ahead
· Dishes that can be made with what’s on hand—First-Prize Onion Casserole, Shepherd’s Pie, Salmon or Tuna Loaf
· Vegetables baked and ready for the table
·Realsalads, substantial enough for lunch or supper, with snappy dressings
· Breads and cookies, puddings and cakes that you loved as a child

In the old days, every kitchen had a soup pot simmering on the back of the stove. That's no longer practical, but we do have refrigerators and freezers to store a bit of cooked rice or pasta, meat scraps, and vegetable trimmings, all of which add flavor and texture to any soup.
