I Hate to Cook Book by Peg Bracken | 1960 FIRST EDITION Cookbook | I Hate Cooking! | Irreverant Cookbook | Bixley Shop
What a delight! From the aproned era of Betty Crocker to Better Homes to Mr. Clean, this irreverent cookbook by hilarious Peg Bracken must have been shocking... and a breath of fresh air! The I Hate to Cook Book features such delicacies as...
30 Day-By-Day Entrees (or The Rock Pile)
The Leftover (or Every Family Needs a Dog)
Potluck Suppers (or How to Bring the Water for the Lemonade)
Company's Coming (or Your Back's to the Wall)
And so much more!
All the recipes are easy to throw together, of course, and we've found some originals like Clam Whiffle, described by the author as... "A whiffle is a scuffle that any fool can make. This is a dandy recipe for those days when you've just had your teeth pulled."
Sparkling with wit and landscaped with light and saucy illustrations by Hilary Knight, this is a great gift idea for anyone who hates cooking.. or anyone who loves it.
