Praise for the Cook Vintage Crisco Advertising Cookbook Mid-Century Spiral Bound

Step back into the golden age of American kitchens with Praise for the Cook, a delightful mid-century cookbook sponsored by Crisco, published in 1959. This spiral-bound treasure is packed with classic recipes, charming illustrations, and nostalgic advertising flair — all wrapped in an iconic 1950s-style cover featuring a cheerful homemaker and her family. Whether you're a cookbook collector, vintage ephemera lover, or just looking to decorate your retro kitchen, this piece delivers both visual appeal and historic charm. While the cover shows some wear and creasing (see photos), the spiral binding is intact and the pages are complete. A true throwback to the days of Sunday roasts, cherry cakes, and coffee in matching cups and saucers. Condition: Good vintage condition overall, with expected wear from age and use. Front and back covers show visible creasing, edge wear, and surface scuffs. The spiral binding is intact and pages turn freely. Inside pages are complete and legible with light age toning and a few scattered stains, including a large but non-sticky grease mark on the front cover/inside front cover (see photos). No missing or torn pages. A solid, well-loved example of this charming mid-century Crisco promotional cookbook. Professional packaging always, since 2003. #VintageCookbook #RetroKitchen #MidCenturyModern #Crisco #PraiseForTheCook #AdvertisingCookbook #VintageRecipes #NostalgicCooking #KitchenCollectibles #1950sCookbook #SpiralBoundCookbook #R
