No, you cannot live on kisses, Though the honeymoon is sweet, Harken, brides, a true word this is — Even lovers have to eat. This charming vintage cookbook, with its innocently suggestive title, reads like a novel as it follows the fictional lives of a pair of newlyweds. Join Bettina and Bob as they eat their way through their first year of marriage, from the bride's first real dinner and a Sunday evening tea to baking day, a rainy night meal, and Thanksgiving festivities. Menus for all occasions are seasoned with anecdotes about family life, friendships, household hints, and budgetary concerns. Originally published in 1917, this volume offers a delightful look at homemaking before the advent of sophisticated appliances and fast food as well as the modern reality of women's work outside the home. Unintentionally funny and historically revealing, the whimsically illustrated narrative abounds in simple and surprisingly relevant recipes.

More than 180 quick and easy recipes, menus, household hints and advice.

How to Cook Husbands is a classic marriage guide by Elizabeth Strong Worthington. "A great many husbands are spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up; others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze, by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew, by irritating ways and words; others roast them; some keep them in pickle all their lives. Now it is not to be supposed that any husband will be good, managed in this way--turnips wouldn't; onions wouldn't; cabbage-heads wouldn't, and husbands won't; but they are really delicious when properly treated" Elizabeth Strong Worthington (October 5, 1851 - October 2, 1916) was a popular American writer during the latter part of the 19th century. Her first books When Peggy Smiled: A Love Story and The Biddy Club, were published in 1888. Her next works The Little Brown Dog and How to Cook Husbands (arguably her most popular work), came along in 1898, and her final book was The Gentle Art of Cooking Wives in 1900. She sometimes wrote under the pen name Griffith A. Nicholas.

"First catch your fish, of course, and then remember that 'a great many husbands are spoiled by mismanagement. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders, and blow them up; others keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze by carelessness and indifference. Some are kept in a stew; others are roasted, or kept in a pickle all their lives.' Turnips, onions, and cabbage heads, the recipe adds, would be good if cooked in these ways, would be good if cooked in these ways, husbands will not, but 'they are really delicious when properly treated.' 'To a strong, steady fire of love, neatness and cheerfulness, add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners called kisses.' No vinegar or pepper on any account, but sometimes a little spice, the recipe tells us, will make the husband tender and digestible....Miss Worthington introduces some interesting anecdotes, a horse and dog story being especially good. Altogether 'How to Cook Husbands' is a bright and clever little volume." -Public Opinion "A book of good advice....The heroine is thirty-four and rather hard to please, but finally, helped by the advice of married friends, she manages to prepare a husband who under all circumstances proves himself amiable, sociable, industrious, and altogether satisfactory." -The Literary News "The meditations of a mature spinster on the domestic troubles....Through it all runs a thread of love story. The book is written pleasantly." -New York Sun "The writer shows a humorous knowledge of those details of married life and housekeeping that managed right or managed wrong produce either happiness or tragedy." -Book News "Sounds advice under a glaze of humor." -Literary World
