This is an extremely comprehensive book, published in 1949 (579 pages) by Irene E. McDermott, Director of Home Economics for Pittsburgh Public Schools and also Mabel B. Trilling, Former Professor of Home Economics Education at Carnegie Inst. of Technology and Florence Williams Nichols, Homemaker !! Eleven chapters of recipes, nutritional information, meal planning, budgeting, table setting, cooking for the invalid - you name it, this book covers it and more !! What I really love about this book is the black and white photos, which show life as it really was back then, a peek back into history - what we ate, how we dressed, the style of furnishings and even a few pictures covering advertising of the day. There are many, many photos - some in color but mostly black and white. This book is in excellent condition and does not show it's age at all. There are no folded pages, written notations - or any damage whatsoever anywhere. The book measures 6-1/4" wide by 9" inches in height and is 1-1/8" inches in thickness. A wonderful culinary time capsule !!
