Mary Meade’s Magic Recipes

Mary Meade’s Magic Recipes “Electric blenders were a kitchen innovation in the 1950s so this book must have been right on trend for the time! Mary Meade’s Magic Recipes for the Electric Blender was written by Ruth Ellen Church. So who is Mary Meade?  Turns out, Ms. Meade was a film actress. Sponsored by Osterizer, Mary Meade must have been a celebrity spokeswoman for the brand. Who knew they had influencers in the ’50s!  Recipes go well beyond drinks. Chapters include breads and muffins, cookies, cakes, dips and spreads, main dishes, salads, sauces, soups, and more!”

If you have a classic “beehive” blender, this book is the perfect complement for your retro kitchen! Published to show housewives of the 1950s how to use their new Osterizer blenders, with over 500 recipes offering “gourmet flavors and textures” deemed practically impossible by conventional cooking methods.
