Need Help Finding a Children’s 70′s Cookbook?
My sister and I have been searching for a book we had as kids but so far nothing has turned up for us: It was a children’s cookbook from the early 1970′s, slim, hardcover, fully illustrated in rich colors, displaying each recipe horizontally, on 2 full pages in almost a comic-book block style. The featured ‘characters’ were a cat and dog who prepared each recipe, some of which included ‘Ox-eye eggs’, ‘Croque Monsiuer’, ‘Pigs in a Blanket’ ‘Chocolate Mousse’, ‘Baked Alaska’, and ‘Fizzy Lemonade’; –This and “Mary Frampton’s Rock and Roll Recipes” were my favorites, and I managed to find that on Amazon; But this kid’s one is so unique and all searches have come up empty; any help you can offer is greatly appreciated!

It’s the ‘My Learn to CookBook’ circa. 1967.
Thanks for your responses.
For a 70′s cookbook, the best places to look are in antique stores & often times places like Goodwill. You’d be amazed at what type of recipe books you can find

My Lord Lumley’s Peas Potage
Most of the peas in the soup are strained. The reason for leaving some of them whole, say’s Digby, “is only to show that it is peas potage.”
Mussels, Bacon, and Pullets
Robert May prefaced his eight-volume cookbook with the modest admission that “God and my own conscience would not permit me to bury these experiences in the grave. “When The Accomplished Cook was the first published in 1660, he had served some fifty-five years as a professional cook in a dozen noble places. Mays experiences were fast becoming démodé in a nation infatuated with French cuisine and in such dishes as the above he took his readers back to “those golden days wherein were practiced the triumphs and tragedies of cookery to be good rather than to seem so. “We took the liberty of changing the oysters with mussels.

Announcing The Homage To Ye Boar’s Head
The use of the Boar’s Head is not only based on its value as an article of food, but it’s symbolism as well. The boar, because he roots into the ground with his tusks, had long been revered as having taught mankind the art of plowing. Henry VIII first established it as a dish. The head was dressed with a garland of rosemary and laurel. As a final touch a lemon, the symbol of plenty, was placed in it’s mouth. The eating of a suckling pig today is a variation of eating the boar’s head.
Smoked Loin with Prunes and Apples

Announcing the passing of the Flaming Plum Pudding
The plum pudding has evolved from a sorry mess of watery gruel pottage-fermety-which, according to the oldest recipe extant, was, “what boiled till the grains burst, and when cool, strained and boiled again with broth of milk and yolks of eggs. “It must have been quite awful fir every year somebody tried to do something about it. As it’s thicker form evolved, it migrated to the end of the meal, with no sign of meat but the vestigial suet. The first published recipe for the pudding as we know it appeared in 1675. It’s change in form is partially due to it’s having been disguised when the Puritans outlawed the dish as sinfully rich. Surely the most spectacular pudding ever produced was Brobdingnagian 900 pounded, created by Devon Villagers in 1819.
