Kalin I put this on my Wish List, and was going to purchase it myself for my birthday, if no one else did, but luckily they did. I read it in a couple of days; it was that interesting. I did not find it to be "unintentionally hilarious" though. The 1917 publication date made it extremely attractive to me as both of my parents were infants then. It gave me an insight into the cooking of the times, although I doubt either grandmother cooked this way since they had large farm/ranch families so probably never had a copy of Bettina, even her how to please a family.It was telling to note how much smaller the recipes were back then, and not just for economy. Most recipes make 2-3 servings, sometimes 4, although there are "party" recipes with 12 or 20 servings, sometimes even 30-for a wedding, but the amounts that make up 30 1-T servings are surprisingly modest, and something any of us could accomplish with the kitchen utensils we have. Ingredients are used much more sparingly than today. For instance, Macaroni and Cheese (3 portions), calls for 1/2 cup of macaroni-broken in pieces, cooked in 1-qt of water salted with 1-tsp. salt. After you drain and rinse it, you make the sauce with with 2T butter; 4 T cheese-"cut in small pieces"; 1-1/2 c milk; 1/2 t salt; 1/4 t paprika and 3 T flour. After you add the drained and rinsed macaroni to the sauce, you put everything in a well-buttered baking dish and bake it in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. There is no "Pasta" section in the index, as macaroni and cheese is the only "pasta"-no spaghetti, no lasagna, no tuna casserole. You have to look under "Vegetables" to find the page for Macaroni and Cheese. There are no ethnic foods-so don't expect enchiladas, etc.There are lots of old-fashioned foods: hamburger steak, meat loaf, fried chicken, steak, biscuits, fish, eggs, cinnamon rolls, cakes, pies, cookies, puddings, creamed meats on toast, or creamed vegetables-there are recipes for 4 types of white sauce, all with different uses. Most of the recipes are simple enough for anyone to cook. There are several that I want to try, including the applesauce cake for my upcoming birthday. The cakes are smaller; mostly made in loaf pans, and with smaller portions: most of the 2-layer cakes are listed as serving 16.Bettina even uses a "fireless cooker". These were very popular in the early 20th century and could be electric, or not. You started the food on the stovetop, brought it to a boil, and then put it in the fireless cooker-which is pretty much a fancy "hay box cooker". If you had an electric fireless cooker, the power automatically shut off when the food came up to the proper temperature. It was very economical, as it used less electricity/gas, and maybe even kept the kitchen cooler. Sort of a pre-crockpot slow cooker. I don't have air conditioning and I often cook with a solar oven, so I found this very interesting. I have plans for a hay box cooker, but haven't made it yet.I liked Bettina and Bob a lot, and liked their friends as well. I think many would enjoy this window into culinary history, even if they didn't try any of the recipes, and it would even give them some thoughts about portion control, and using high calorie/fat/cholesterol ingredients in moderation. When have you ever seen a mac 'n cheese recipe, even for 3 servings, that calls for 1/4 cup of cheese? You haven't. Most would use at least 1/2 cup, if not more. It could even be useful for singles and empty nesters, and RV'ers as most of the recipes would not make leftovers, or would make fewer leftovers. I can recommend "A Thousand Ways to Please a Husband." I don't think that it should be listed in the "Humor" category. Dover is wrong on that one. We can learn a lot from Bettina still, if we are receptive to her message: simple, attractive, varied meals that don't break the budget and that are served in smaller, more manageable portions-in short, the way we used to eat before we "super-sized" everything on the planet, ourselves included.
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Vintage Homemaking By Carla Hoag Though previously I was familiar only with the 1930's edition, I recently purchased the 1917 edition. It's great. There are 152 short chapters, which focus on newlyweds Bob and Bettina, their friends and families for about a year. A couple of pages set up the scene, then give the menu for a meal and the recipes. As well as recipes there are tips on stain removal, low-cost decorating, festive table setting, etc... The emphasis is on hospitality, economy, good stewardship, time efficiency, and a pleasant home. It's an insider look at housekeeping in the pre-technology era. One chapter spotlights a trip to the store for a "refrigerator"; after reading a few lines I realized the author was referring to an ice box, and a discussion ensued between Bettina and her friend, Mrs. Dixon, of the merits of the different models (top loading as opposed to front loading of the ice), drip pan and sizes of ice blocks required. One chapter mentions women's suffrage (women didn't get the vote until 3 years later). It's a fascinating look at homemaking during my grandmother's time.Recipes are fairly easy to follow but don't include recommended oven temperature settings. That information is easily obtained by a similar recipe in a modern book.The authors are Louise Bennett Weaver & Helen Cowles LeCron. The written description on the title page says: "The Romance of Cookery and Housekeeping Decorations by Elizabeth Colbourne". The illustrations are Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts and charming.While probably not a book for the ultra-modern, it is a delight for those who enjoy cozy books, like Miss Read, Jan Karon, Anne of Green Gables, Laura Ingalls Wilder, etc...

Adorable DIY for the new bride ( of 1917) By Kate Blake This book is a trip back into time when the success of a marriage rested on the skills of the little woman. Follow Bettina and her friends as they navigate the world of newlyweds with limited household budgets and unlimited imaginations. See the food trends of 1917-cream sauces rule! Thousand Island dressing was rad! Pimentos fix everything! And marshmallows were your best friend!The book is too cute for words-most of the recipes are simple and made for couples. Household tips for stain removal, quick dinners, and friendship dilemmas solved before the next chapter.
