No Child Left Behind

I vaguely remember the name Peg Bracken from my childhood.  She came out with The I Hate To Cook Book in 1960 and it sold for decades.  It's been out of print for a while, though, so I'm glad to see an updated version is being published.

Back when she wrote it, women were expected to cook the meals, and I assume plenty saw it as an awful chore.  Simple recipes that included pre-canned and packaged ingredients must have seemed a godsend.

Bracken was a copywriter, and I hear much of the charm of the book is in her style.  I don't really buy cookbooks, but this one sounds like fun.
