One of my early favourites is actually not a cookbook but sits on the cookbook shelf, it's one of Peg Bracken's "The I Hate to Housekeep Book". My mom gave it to me years ago, I think she thought it would move me in the right direction, sadly it failed but it did interest me in cooking.
The recipes worked and one that I first tried was Little Chinese Meatballs:
1½ pounds of ground beef 1 tablespoon powedered ginger
½ cup soya sauce 1 crushed galic clove
¼ cup water
Mix together and roll into little balls, bake uncovered for an hour at 275 degrees.
So simple and when I served them up I decorated the platter with little orange Marigolds. Folks thought they were really getting something special.
Can also recommend Saratoga Torte and Add-A-Pound-Cake, in the margin I have written
Aug.5,1967 Fort Smith N.W.T. The recipes are simple, ingredients easy to obtain and results you can grin at.
Perhaps it is now time to try the housekeeping part...
