Title: The Hotpoint Food Freezer Instruction and Recipe Book
Author: Virginia Francis
Date: 1955
Publisher: Hotpoint
ISBN: none
Length: 64 pages
Illustrations: many drawings, some photos, many in full color
Though it contains fewer elaborate recipes than most cookbooks of its vintage, this collection of basic freezer-food recipes belongs in the collection of anyone interested in mid-twentieth century cookbooks. The instructions for preserving food by freezing it will still work; relying on a freezer for long-term food storage is risky, but it's certainly possible to use a freezer to extend your garden seasons. This cookbook assumes more interest in keeping produce or food bought in quantities fresher longer than in making fancy dishes. There's only one page of recipes for homemade ice cream.
I have a collectible copy in good condition. Local lurkers may begin bidding now.
