Peg Bracken dead at 89

The I Hate To Cook BookPeg Bracken was the author of a bestselling cookbook that I really have to find a copy of, The I Hate To Cook Book. She was one of the first to suggest (late 50s, early 60s) that busy housewives use store bought items and other shortcuts in their meal making. She was a former advertising executive who went on to write other books, including I Hate To Housekeep Book, other cookbooks, and the memoir A Window Over The Kitchen Sink.

She died of pulmonary fibrosis in Portland, OR.
