The Keep It Short & Simple Cookbook by Ruth H. Brent
"The Keep It Short & Simple Cookbook - No More Than 4 Ingredients in Each Recipe" written by Ruth H. Brent - hardcover book published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston in 1972 - 180 pages - book measures 5.75" x 8.5" - original price $5.95 - ISBN# 0-03-086703-7
Condition: Fair/Good - covers have light wear - dust jacket has creases/marks - binding solid - a few pages have small stains - page 179/180 has a 1" tear and the last page, which is blank, has some damage on edge - no missing pages.
"Delicious, foolproof recipes - none requiring more than four ingredients - with short and easy directions for preparations.
"The modern age allows few hours to spend in the kitchen. Our cookbook shelves are stocked with recipes from Cordon Bleu, but complicated dishes, calling for ten or twelve ingredients, followed by a harrowing set of directions, preserve gourmet cookery for company occasions.
"With The Keep It Short and Simple Cookbook delectable meals become a daily affair. For example, the average recipe for tomato aspic calls for twelve ingredients. Here it has been simplified to three: tomato juice, gelatin, and heated, bottled Russian salad dressing. It can be made in a few moments and is superior in taste to most of the old recipes.
"Each recipe has been tested in the author's own kitchen - first for taste appeal, second for accuracy of measurements. More than fifteen years were spent in accumulating this treasury of time-saving ideas which suggests using prepackaged soups, sauces, etc., to lighten your work load and make cooking easy and fun.
"Twelve complete menus are presented first, followed by the recipe for each dish. Recipes for various food categories from Appetizers to Vegetables comprise the second section, with the four-ingredient idea maintained throughout.
"A book for housewives, career girls, and bachelors, The Keep It Short and Simple Cookbook is for anyone who appreciates fine cooking and has little time to spend in the kitchen. Easy-to-follow directions make it ideal for youngsters too!"
"Ruth H. Brent is a magazine writer and author of a weekly newspaper column called "Time for a Party." She conducts adult education classes on informal entertaining in the home and has a busy lecture schedule."
