BLUEBERRY HILL KITCHEN NOTEBOOK

Blueberry Hill Cookbook and Blueberry Hill Menu Cookbook have established an enthusiastic core of readers who look on Elsie Masterton as a friend. They will welcome this friendly, chatty sharing of a random collection of good ideas, personal prejudices, people and food, drawn from the notebook she kept in her kitchen. There are- for those who inquire- 275 new recipes, some of them rather offbeat and unusual. This reader -- overlooking the occasional coyness and folksiness (which her addicts love) found many new ideas, top of the list the discovery that uncooked bread dough could be secured from the neighborhood baker. The arrangement here is off the beaten track; instructions for preparation come first in the recipes, ingredients follow. Otherwise, the soup to nuts order is followed. Many of her readers will particularly enjoy the introduction in which she tells of her experience as a judge of the Mrs. America Homemaking Competition, a heartening bit of Americana.
