The second page has two recipes that are in my sister, Betty’s handwriting. Kitchen Klatter was a radio program out of KMA radio in Shenandoah, Iowa. I don’t really remember Mom listening to the Kitchen Klatter radio program, but I do recall her listening to Frank Field talk about gardening for the Earl May Seed Company. Frank sounded old even then.
I don’t know whether the recipe Betty copied from was as incomplete as what is in the cookbook, but I wouldn’t be surprised. We don’t know the oven temperature, any old nuts will do and everyone knows soda is baking soda.
