It puzzled us that Beard chose to write a book on kitchen economies at a time when the nation's economy was prospering as never before. Perhaps it was his own perpetual inability to save money that prompted him. He and co-author Sam Aaron believed that the book filled "a gap in the cookbook fieldthe need for a realistic, down-to-earth approach to the subject of eating well without straining the food budget. " To them, this did not equal deprivation. As they wrote, "There is no need to go to the penny-pinching extreme of serving meat loaf made with half a pound of hamburger and one cup of oatmeal, as some people do. Within the limitations of your budget you can set a table that has variety and distinction. You can serve gourmet food. " Aaron, a wine-and-spirits authority, told readers how to drink better for less money, too. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
