I'm sure the pie is delicious, but I doubt the authenticity of those apples and leaves. Some caterpillar is going to come along in a minute with high hopes and be very disappointed.

This chapter has nearly identical recipes for Pumpkin Pie and for Squash Pie. Even in the 1930s, every home cook worked diligently to trick kids into eating more vegetables. :D

Since I started re-watching *The Carol Burnett Show*, all I can see when I look at Aunt Jenny is Thelma Harper. o_0

This is much more action than I want at dessert. But I guess it's better than the modern-day version which also has things like donuts and gold leaf tossed in. o_0

From the May 17th, 1963 issue of Life magazine.

This page was more age-darkened than they usually are. Sorry for the poor quality of the "recipe card" typeface in particular.

But you can just feel the enduring authentic French-ness of this still well-known delicacy. Totally worth the trouble, right?! :P

From the April issue of Family Circle magazine.

I didn't plan for the recurring hat motif. It just happened. Also, that "dad" at the upper right is clearly the crusty old Doc from Murder She Wrote. Anything to pay off those medical school bills, I guess.

Here's the second back cover with an updated model and decor. Company prerogative, right? But now they've got the box packed so tightly that you'd never be able to pull out a single item without causing a massive collapse. o_0

Somehow this booklet is 50 pages long, o_0

amylsacks has posted:

I guess it's good that gelatin is starting to relax its iron grip on U.S. salads at this point. But they're still overthinking it. Just set out some sliced pears with some nice cheese and move on. Yeesh!

Slightly enlarged to show detail.

Most of these pages were too faded and brittle for the scanner. But at least "Queen Of Puddings" survived. (By the way, in the U.S.A., this version is known as "Old Bread a la Reddy Kilowatt."

Inside back covers from 1965 (l) and from 1970 (r). In the first image, the hypnotic spiral surface of the dessert yet appears earthbound, but in the second, its extraterrestrial origin is revealed at last!

Sadly, the triumph of body-shaming, diet-obsessed culture is complete in the new century. You are no longer allowed to eat any of these flavors, though you are allowed to glob them onto your face and legs before you shave. :/

1965 had different text than 1970. It was "Magic In A Minute." However, neither version points out that Pear Lime Creamy Whip is what William S. Burroughs would serve at a ladies luncheon, if he ever catered those.

Also, I think they forgot to make it taste good. :P

But still... those colors! Those shapes! That "cupcake frosting" which looks like some kind of milk-fed Tribble and the citrus-y spaceship that clearly brought them down to Earth! It makes you proud, doesn't it?

You've got Vanilla Berry, Raspberry Supreme, Lemon Twist, Snow-Capped Chocolate Pie, Heavenly Mocha Cream (front). Then Mocha Dream, Triple Citrus Creamy Whip, Citrus Duet & Berry Duet, Chocolate Swirl Pie, and Strawberry & Raspberry Supreme (back).

What you don't have is a product which survived as long as its forbears: Jell-O and Dream Whip. I guess people figured out that they already could do what this stuff did.
