My mother has given me quite a few cookbooks; Sunset Favorite Recipes (along with a series from Sunset), The New York Times Cookbook, Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book and a long time favorite, Good Housekeeping’s Cooking with Susan published in 1967. It has lots of old fashioned recipes like ones my mom used to make in the 60s when I was growing up.

Fondue brings back memories of college! I still have my fondue pot and forks though I haven’t made fondue in years and years. Maybe this cookbook would change that.

Chocolate and coffee ice cream are our family favorites but to make shakes you need vanilla or strawberry.
