Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a first edition of Square Meals and it is falling apart from use!I'm so glad its back in print so I can get another copy. This cookbook has it all,cultural antropology, humor, excellent old fashioned recipes, and revolting recipes of the past that have providentially disappeared from todays cookbooks. One disgusting example is Banana Sardine Boats. Funny as the awful recipes are, they can't compete with the truely delicious ones like Pepsi Cola Cake,White Bread for Toasting( its the best white bread recipe i've ever used and the book includes a breadmaking diagram from the 30's to assist you ), Hawaiian Chicken and Pineapple Curry from the Ladies Lunch section( its exotic comfort food that both spice jaded palates and curry neophytes can enjoy together) and a 1905 recipe for Baked Spagetti (don't worry, it does't have any scary garlic or oregano in it!!). The Sterns reprint exerpts from old home ec pamphlets and cookbooks giving you a glimpse of your grandmothers past. if you read cookbooks like novels,read this one and you won't be dissapointed.

This revised and updated edition of the classic Square Meals is a celebration of American food from the 1920s through the 1950s, a salute to the days of lunch counters and the times when Sunday dinner was hearty and special.
