Was your mother, aunt, grandmother, great grandmother a Chrysler woman in the 1950’s (?) whose recipe may have been published in this beautiful book?

They have not been “tested professionally” in “commercial kitchens”. However, they have undergone even more exacting tests in the thousands of Chrysler homes. There the supreme test of all is the fact that hundreds of thousands of boys and girls and grownups continue to like and eat what Chrysler Women prepare.” The Chrysler Magazine
• Each recipe includes the name of the woman with hometown listed. Such a wonderful and unique treasure!

Don't you just hate when this happens. Seems like the sensible thing to do is take down the posting while they are gone. Maybe they are trying to avoid another listing fee.

I didn't know there could be 1100 different desserts.

 

With 1100 Chrysler women submitting recipes, it must

have been a challenge to edit.  Do you think they submitted

100 different versions of their apple pies, which got narrowed

down to 2 or 3?

are there any recipes that have transmission fluid in them?
