Saucepans & the Single Girl, Cookbook of the Day

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

The list goes on. It's not misogynistic, it's hysterical. Other chapters include "Deadly Little Dinners" and "Happiness is a Very Dry Martini." Each includes an introduction, usually with an anecdote, and often with a warning about putting plastic bags over your head or something silly. I'm certain that Jinx and Judy would have been girlfriends of mine.

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!

Tip of the Day

Butterscotch sauce is a rich and buttery treat that makes a great seasonal dessert topper in place of chocolate or whipped cream.
