Synopsis

Pass It On: Cooking Tips From The 1950s is a collection of the culinary recipes and tips collected from newspapers and magazines of the 1950s, when housewives used to write in with their ingenious, clever and tasty hints and tips. How do guarantee a cake won't stick in a baking tin? What's the secret of the best gravy you'll ever taste? What's the recipe for that cure-for-all-ills chicken soup grandma used to make? There are hundreds of tips in the book with names of contributors and dates when they were published in the 1950s. Illustrated by classic adverts for food of the 1950s, with illustrations from the original versions of the cookery and recipe pamphlets given away with magazines, baking powder and flour manufacturers. Pure nostalgia.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Steve Finan served 40 years as a Scottish journalist, and in that time made himself an expert on all newspaper content stretching back over the past century. His books reflect the social history of the 1940s to 1970s, telling the stories of ordinary people as they could be seen between the lines when they interacted with newspapers. They wrote to newspaper doctors with health problems, they swapped cooking, cleaning and household tips with each other. They complained, they laughed, they fell out (and the police were called), and they loved a thrifty bargain. They went to the football and rugby, and commiserated and exulted together. Steve's books are shamelessly nostalgic, providing an education for those who don't remember the 1950s and 60s, fond memories for those who do remember, and a thousand talking points to help young and old understand each other's worlds. In the process, Steve has created books full of old-fashioned, home-spun wisdom how to get stains out of tablecloths, how to make good broth, what to do when a wasp stings. Steve is also the author of the bestselling In The Black & White Era library of Scottish sports books, which bring to light images of football, footballers and football grounds that have lain in old newspaper and magazine archives for years. He also writes a weekly newspaper column In Defence of the English Language, fighting the good fight for proper punctuation, gracious grammar, and correct spelling.
