Item Description
Thoughts for Food: A Menu Aid
Vintage 1938
Quite literary and definitely up-scale. Published in 1938, this copy is from the first edition, stated eighth printing published in 1943 by The Vanguard Press in cooperation with Institute Publishing Company, Chicago. Hard cover boards covered with tan linen. 323 pages of 125 menus and the recipes and other information necessary for bringing those menus to life. Compiled by a group of Chicago hostesses who don not list their names.
Lots of brunch, dinner and buffet dishes that sound–and should look-very high end. This is your book if you need to impress the boss!
Reviews From Amazon:
"A fun classic cookbook with lots of great old, old recipes from the WW2 years."

"Rather sultry shiny silver covers and exceptionally clear laid out recipes. There are 125 menus for different times/types of meals, including brunch, lunch, bridge games, dinner parties, ancestral silver occasions, stag dinner, suppers, cocktail parties, etc. There are several recipes for each type of menu, of course. Rare, with that insouciant 1930's flavor. Index in back. Great deal, recommended."
