In the 1920’s, this is how you added a little bit of delight to your diet! 🌽 Written by Ida Bailey Allen, the early 20th century’s version of Martha Stewart, this 1928 cookbook centers around one ingredient... corn... and all its many possibilities. 🌽 As a nutrition authority known around the world, Ida subscribed to one guiding principle her entire life... food is fuel never waste it! Corn was an ingredient that was of particular interest to her since it can be consumed in so many ways... as a vegetable, an oil, a sugar syrup and a flour. This cookbook is dedicated completely to all those possibilities, with recipes for breakfast through dinner and snacks in between. It’s also peppered with interesting history and her chipper pearls of wisdom... “A good breakfast with a surprise now and then, is the keynote of a happy, successful day.” Delightful indeed! This petite almost-antique cookbook is a charmer right from the front cover all the way through.
