I found this adorable retro cooking-and-lifestyle book from 1965 in a vintage store in Wisconsin. Enchanted by the title, I picked it up (for fifty cents) and have never regretted it.Written by two Stanford roommates, this book is hilariously frank and provides great tips the modern Bachelorette can still use.
Example: Here's an excerpt from the Table of Contents:
4. Food fit for a...
- Man in a Brooks Brothers Suit
- Man's Man
- Man in a Garret
- Lover with a Leica
- Man in the Gray Flannel Lederhosen
I recommend this book. And guess what a simple Googling told me? In 2006, they updated the book! Same gals, still funny. Visit saucepansandthesinglegirl.com to read about it and see where to buy!

I discovered a tattered copy of this book at a thrift store about 10 years ago, and it quickly became one of my very favorite books. I always look for extra copies to give to friends. It's smart and funny. One of the women...I think it was Judy...married a music industry executive and ended up writing another book several years ago about pregnancy. I wish I could remember the name of it, because it was hilarious! I read the whole thing front to back....and I wasn't even pregnant! Thanks for posting!
