"Do you like to cook? You say you never tried? Think of that - and cooking is such fun, too! A person just feels sorry for a girl or boy who is old enough to read this book and who really doesn't know how to cook anything.

You notice I said boy just as surely as I said girl. For how in the world is a boy going to manage a camping trip or even a one-day picnic in the woods if he doesn't know how to cook?"

This gorgeous facsimile edition is printed in Great Britain.  It was originally printed by Rand McNally in 1926 and contains 56 pages.  It is printed on ivory colored heavy paper with hard cover, and all the illustrations are stunningly beautiful silhouette pictures.  The recipes include basic breakfast, lunch and dinner foods from the era and would be a wonderful introduction to a child both for cooking and for the incredible beauty of vintage books and illustrations.  It is a book to treasure, a book to cherish and pass on down through the generations.
