Cookbook Advert, Recipe And Electric Range - A Sepia Saturday Post
I love Sepia Saturdays by Alan Burnett and since this week they are featuring old photos from the kitchen, baking, or anything that can be considered a memento on the topic of cooking - I tried looking through my grandmother's old albums to feature, maybe she would have a photo whilst whipping up something in the kitchen, but unfortunately no I don't have any for now.
But then I just got excited to feature a few pages from a Ladies Home Journal July 1984 with Princess Diana then on the cover. You may also join us this week :HERE:
This magazine is one I've kept for quite awhile since getting it at a discount store. Now I'm glad I did because some ads and features are a must to share!
I love the 80's look of this kitchen! Nostalgic for me :)
Looking forward to next Saturday's feature!

Well doesn't that couple look happy with themselves. They remind me of the inane people we see all the time in stock photos. There's something wonderfully Stepford wife about her.
Yes, I agree with you! That couple represents the ideal couple from my childhood wish-list "when I grow up", of what should a family be according to norm. This is must have been my idea also of perfection as a housewife :) love that Stepford-ish charm she has too.
Love the Tappan ad! He's such a goof -- does anybody really think he helped cook all that food? And she IS a Stepford wife -- no doubt!
One things for certain, he enjoyed every second of eating it I just know it!
I had a wool skirt in a similar pattern & color, but it was a full circle, not pleated. Your picture sure brought back memories. Here's a suggestion about what else you can do with an 8 ounce, plus 4 ounce block of softened cream cheese: Bake an apple pie without a top crust. Cool. Blend the cream cheese with sugar or sweetener to taste & spread over the cooled pie. Slip under the broiler for a few moments until the cheese is a light tan color. Soooo good. Actually Kraft now has softened cream cheeses in several different flavors. One in particular is cinnamon flavored. I wonder how that would work on an apple pie?
I was confused, two sets of comments.
I think a Tappan husband was what sold many of the stoves, then we went home to our real lives...and Jo, we call it cheesecake in America too, but I guess the real cheesecakes are cooked. Loved thinking of eating the food anyway, not fixing it!
As I was perusing the Royale ads, I remembered that someplace, in some shelf or drawer, I have one of the Joys of Jello books, must be 1950s vintage. Jello molds of every variety and for every occasion. Those were the days.
I think we all remember bits of those adverts from our own pasts, great for this week's Sepia Saturday, thanks for sharing them.
These old ads are amusing now but we used to think they were wonderful. Nostalgia all the way.
I love looking at ads in the old magazines.
I enjoyed seeing the old ads. I wouldn't discount the recipe, though. I once read that a recipe offered by the company that made a key ingredient should be great because they want to present it at its best.
Thanks to all the visitors of my page :) Just popped in today to acknowledge you all. Love your amusing comments as well and I also loved sharing my nostalgic feelings about the old days.
@Deb Gould - I thought so too! =)
@LA Nightingail - Thanks for the recipe! It will be helpful to us all.
@ Barbara Rogers - Yes, I know it's confusing, but you can still comment on either or both. And that will help us also get in touch with one another with facebook, aside from blogging. Feel free to add me also, please :)
@Postcardy - Yes, I also love ads in old magazines. I heard there is also a collection for those, so I guess I should start too. I am also into old postcards and hope to share it on Sepia Saturday in the future
