19715662New York: Ashley Books 1971. First Edition First Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 6 1/4 X 9 1/2 Inches. 278 PP. Stated "First Edition" on the copyright page. Original price of $8.95 intact on front flap. An often overlooked classic that obviously influenced chef Jamie Oliver. Written by Penelope Ashe AKA Billie Young of "Naked Came the Stranger" fame. For those who forget "Naked Came the Stranger" was the trashy 1969 novel pieced together from 24 submissions by Newsday columnist Mike McGrady. McGrady set out to publish a book that was intentionally horrible but filled with lots of sex. His intention was to prove that American readership no longer recognized good writing and just cared about folks getting naked. He was right. The book a hoax was published and became a 1969 bestseller. Penelope Ashe Billie Young was represented as the author for meetings with publishers etc. In fact Young was McGrady's sister-in-law. Ever the entreprenuer she parlayed that "fake fame" into this genuinely fine cookbook. <br /> <br /> Includes recipes that include: Adulteress Rice Pilaf Erotic Viking Steamers Spicy Casanova Shimp and Conjugal Clam Chowder among others. Light wear to top edge and foot of DJ spine. Ashley Books hardcover

193063169Austin & Minneapolis MN: Minnesota Utilities Company; Northern States Power Company - Home Service Department Cooking School; Federal Public Service Corporation of Minnesota ca. 1930-1936. Eight parts. 4to. 46 pp assorted separate numbering. w/ most leaves printed on recto only but 2 printed on recto & verso in mimeograph typescript stapled at upper left corners separately 1 part w/ “Seasons Greetings†printed in red minor age toning edgewear still a VG group. A culturally significant group of mimeographed recipes instructions and promotional flyers for the Home Economics & Cooking School demonstrations put on by Naoma Rice for three different Minnesota utility and public utility companies through the depths of the Great Depression. Spearheaded by Rice 1899-1937 the demonstrations emphasized the use and advantages of electric ranges and refrigerators as their popularity and use slowly became more widespread in the 1930’s with an emphasis on local produce and fruits. The first group of recipes includes instructions for such confections as Cranberry Sponge Cake Cider Sherbet Macaroon Pie Spagetti sic Sauce and Bran Refrigerator Rolls. Mixed through the other recipes there are instructions for Crunchy Potato Chip Cookies Apple Cheese Cake Parmesan Veal Frozen Pumpkin Pie and Corn Flake Crust. Several of the recipes emphasize the use of popular Minnesota fruits including Apple Quince Grapes and others.The importance of refrigeration was also emphasized in the “Cooking School†and Model Kitchens with instructions on temperatures needed for home rangers and refrigerators for cooked foods meats butter opened jelly or preserves cheeses and more. Rice suffered through an unspecified childhood illness by by the early 1920’s had become a public school Home Economics Teacher and then by 1928 was listed in Austin MN street directories as a “Demonstrator†for home economics and cooking classes. The Minnesota Utilities Company had been created in 1917 from several smaller utilities and my the Great Depression had grown large enough that it became subject to both the TVA and the Rural Electrification Project as Roosevelt’s New Deal programs attempted to encourage increased use of electricity and electric appliances to boost the economy. The Northern States Power Co. was based out of Minneapolis MN and extended across Minnesota Michigan into the Dakotas and operated an extensive Home Service Dept. The Federal Public Service Corporation of Minnesota appears to have been one of the short-lived outgrowths of WPA and PWA-sponsored programs under the New Deal. This cataloguer could not locate any similar surviving documents for Naoma Rice cooking classes or the Minnesota-based utility companies.
