August's Books

The "I Hate to Cook Book: updated and revised" by Peg Bracken was originally published in 1960. This is the new fiftieth anniversary edition of her classic cookbook. I still have my copy of the original, bought sometime in the early 1970s, yellowed and stained and well-used. Even if I'm not planning to make one of the recipes, I still read through it just to appreciate Bracken's humor. Time to replace the original, perhaps?
