Identify my long-lost cookbook!

October 20, 2020 8:26 PM

Mini years back, a family member had a cookbook. It had different chapters which were each based around a theme, and the idea was that you would pick one theme for each day of the week and then the chapter would have multiple choices for you to make for that theme. Can anyone identify this book? I would really like to get it again!

So, for example, one of the chapters was passed a night. And the idea was he would decide a certain day is pasta night, and every week, you would pick one of the pasta night recipes.

Other details I remember about this book: it was one of the first cookbooks I ever saw which listed pantry items separately from items he would have to buy fresh. And I believe it had some sort of binding on it which allows you to prop up the book with a built-in stand so you can read it in the kitchen.

Can anyone identify this mystery cookbook? I would be so grateful.

I can’t help you, but you might want to give Bonnie Slotnick could. She has a cookbook bookstore in NYC and you could try giving her all the details (decade, region etc) and see if she can figure it out!
