Cooking Husbands

Tweet

When you hear that term what comes to mind? Is it of a man who cooks? I am sure that's probably what you are thinking because it is certainly what I was thinking. I thought "wow so there were men that cooked back then?" I mean, I assume that there were some men that cooked in those days (late 1800's) but that it was nearly unheard of. So when I came across [b]Cooking Husbands[/b} I was eager to see what the writer had to say. Apparently, Cooking Husbands isn't about a married man who cooks. It's about a woman who is "preparing" her husband to be "soft and pliant." The text is too much for me to copy down and I can't copy / paste it from the book or I would. I will give you a link to the webpage but you'll have to turn it to page 144 of 146 to see what I am referring to. I love an old cookbook.
