YOU AIM TO BE A GOOD COOK IF YOU AREN'T ONE ALREADY. IN ANY CASE, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A DULL ONE. YOU WELCOME THE NEW FOOD PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET AND NEW WAYS TO USE THE OLD ONES SO THEY WILL ADD SPARK AND INTEREST TO YOUR DAILY MEALS AS WELL AS SAVE YOU TIME... (FROM THE INTRODUCTION) {HISTORY} Born from a Ladies Home Journal food column that began in the 1930's, this sparkling 1952 cookbook, Quick and Easy Meals for Two by Louella Shouer was designed to make cooking easier for the career girls, brides, working wives, young marrieds and busy homemakers of midcentury America. No matter what the skill level or the kitchen size, Louella dives into a host of menus for quick weeknight meals and fun weekend party fare. Seasonal, economical, light, hearty, quick and impromptu eating situations are all covered here with zippy writing and colorful expressions from a professional, working woman who also happens to be an incredible home cook.

Fun dessert recipes (Old-Time Chocolate Sauce, Green Apple Peanut Crumble, Penny Puffs, Macaroon Ice Cream Cake) mingle with fresh seasonal meals elegant in name and ingredient (Chicken with Rosemary, Swedish Lamb with Dill Sauce, New Orleans Oyster Soup, Cucumber Mousse).
