First up today is the sweet cover on this Crisco "cook-booklet" from 1945;
Fried chicken, from 1948:
Cake, circa 1950:
The "merriest Christmas Cookies ever!", from 1952
1955 - "Crisco ends pie crust failure!"
The New Crisco - from 1961:
And, back to fried chicken again, 1978:
Butter Flavor Crisco from 1988:
"Now", of course, Crisco has a lot more products - from Butter Flavor Crisco sticks...
.....to olive oils and cooking sprays!
I remember my Mom and Grandma using Crisco all the time! I love those aprons and the blue bowls in the background!
ReplyDeleteLook at those frosted cupcakes around the base of that bigger cake... Who says cupcakes are only a modern theme!
ReplyDeleteGive me a cute red gingham apron and a nice plate of fried chicken and I will be in heaven. I think I have the first cook-booklet too. Very yummy post. Love T
ReplyDeleteHi Carol- i love the aprons and the bowls, too! That gives me an idea - wouldn't it be great fun to try to recreate that scene for a photo shoot? I would love to do something like that!
ReplyDeletethose running gingerbread men cookies were cute. yup i grew up with crisco. i sure could use some help with pie crust failure.
ReplyDeleteYep, I do have that booklet. I like the idea of recreating the cover picture. Love T
ReplyDeleteThe most noteworthy thing about Crisco now is...it's no longer made by Proctor & Gamble. J.L. Smucker (as in "with a name like...") acquired Crisco, Jif peanut butter and Folgers coffee from P & G
