The I Hate to Cook Book
by Peg Bracken
I hadn’t heard of that book before last week, which is strange considering that I hate cooking, and I’m fascinated by the 1960s. This unusual cookbook was published in 1960 when it was an oddity for a woman to hate to cook. And it’s still an oddity today in this pandemic world where everyone and their mother cheerfully bake their own bread.
Peg Bracken’s book is still refreshing sixty years later. Well, I’ll probably make only a few of the recipes because though I’m no stranger to cook with Campbell’s soups, some of these recipes have not aged well. But the interest of this book is the witty writing of Peg Bracken, and I’ll surely read her other books, especially The I hate to housekeep book.
