- Summary:
- John Gould believes that food should consist mostly of good things to eat. Here, he summons up, with a generous garnish of risible anecdote, an earlier day when natural foods were the only kind there were and meals were lovingly prepared. Recalling simpler days, Gould waxes nostalgic about such subjects as bread, coffee, and molasses cookies. Being of practical mind, he even throws in a few mouth-tingling recipes--from custard pies to clambakes. Rounded out with humorous drawings from his old friend F.W. Saunders, this is a truly original take on Yankee cookery.
