Last night, I chose a cake recipe from my 1950 Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book to make for this week. There wasn't a picture of it on the page with the recipe, so I flipped through the rest of the book to see if perhaps there was one in another section. In doing so, I came across this drawing. (Please click to enlarge if necessary so you can read the text.)
I never would have guessed that Sandra Lee got her start back in 1950 when she worked in the Betty Crocker "Kamera Kitchen"!

LMAO- Love you..
Oh, my. That is a wonderful picture! And I love the cutesy misspelling (I have a feeling that I spelled misspelling wrong though, which is mildly comical and ironic)...
Aw, come on... what has poor SLee ever done to you? I mean, she's like the MacGuyver of cooking. She could take a roll of Lifesavers, a bullion cube and some frilly toothpicks and come up with a 4-course meal, complete with roasted lambshanks in a creme anglaise. (I don't even know what that means, but I bet there's a balsamic reduction involved somewhere.)
P.S. I totally have this cookbook, too! All the old pictures are so cool.
Lidian, yes it is rather ironic!
Heather Cherry,
I love this cookbook but I do find some of the pictures very amusing!
Cherry Hatchet Pie! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was fantastic.
