3 Vintage Dessert Pamphlets General Foods Calendar of Desserts Nordic Ware Recipe Booklet
$23.00$0.00
This is a set of three vintage dessert booklets from three different kitchens, and each one is a working booklet rather than a picture book. A Calendar of Desserts comes from the Consumer Service Department of General Foods Corporation in New York. Magical Desserts with Whip'n Chill comes from General Foods Kitchens in White Plains, New York. The third is the Nordic Ware recipe booklet from Minneapolis, Minnesota, the one built around Bundt pans and Teflon bakeware.
A Calendar of Desserts runs month by month, with a page for each month and 365 ideas in all, keyed to fruit in season and to holidays through the year. Magical Desserts collects Whip'n Chill desserts: pies, parfaits, layered desserts, molded desserts, and frozen desserts, with color photographs through the middle. The Nordic Ware booklet works through the Bundt pan, the Mini Bundt and Bundt-lette pans, the Servo King platters, and the Teflon care page.
All three are stapled softcovers with color printing, sized to sit in a kitchen drawer. These are the booklets a mid century kitchen kept within reach, and they still read clearly enough to cook from.
