Yes, you read that right, it's time to meet the family "chef!" And without uttering a single word, our happy hottie homemaker is here, (via Hunter Packing Co.'s 1951 complimentary cooking booklet), to show you how to: 1.) find a tempt-tasty recipe... 2.) buy the perfect cut of meat... 3.) store the meat until it's time to prepare... 4.) strategize a game plan with the help of seasonings... 5.) give that meat the business! 6.) present said heavenly dish... and finally 7.) make HIM cut that damn thing up! Seriously now, does the "chef" have to do everything??!!
Your (and their) use of air quotes is cracking me up 😂 But this little “booklet” is seriously “amazing”!! I love the inside art especially, and you know how I feel about that accent color choice 😍 I’m dying to read this one though…as a recent convert back to meat-eating I have a lot to learn about “giving it the business” as you so perfectly put it 🤣 Thanks for the great “blog post,” Kars!
ReplyDelete8.) “thanks!”
DeleteYou could say that I’ve actually been “hanging” onto this one for a while now. I felt that conversion slowly “coming”, and of course we all know that timing is “everything!” ;)
In picture number five we see the chef equivalent of the Keebler Elves, but instead of making cookies they are bringing the salt and what appears to be a table spoon. (Could they be considered short order cooks?)
ReplyDeleteWhile too many cooks spoil the broth, many cooks and chefs have assistants to prepare various parts of the meal. These mini meal preparers fall into that category.
Great pictures, although the choice of adding color like a cloud or sea waves on pages three, four, and six through eight was an unusual choice to say the least.
More than the thin wave lines of meat aroma wafting around their heads, cooking is a vibe that adds color to not only the room, but to life in general :)
DeleteOkay, I LOLed at "short order cooks." Bravo, JMR777!
ReplyDeleteI really love the image with the chef in the supermarket. I feel like it's some kind of surprise party for the butcher? Looks like it worked, too. He looks like he's about to throw that roast in the air. Assuming that's a roast.
And of course I'm a constant sucker for the inside of a refrigerator, as I've said over and over. So picture number four is my fave today. You know, that smear of teal dry-brushed pizzazz looks like gusts of temperature in many of these illos--a frigid puff from the meat counter and fridge, a heat wave from the oven ad the hot meat itself. Only the second-to-last one feels off to me. And while we're looking at that one, just what is that... plated shape... that is sitting on the table already? Is that a bouquet or a salad or something?
I believe it’s a Junji Ito inspired Uzumaki centerpiece
DeleteEscar-GO-GO-GO!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of inspiration, the cover of this thing makes me want to watch Parents again really bad.
Yeah the blue is really interesting. You can see they are trying for the effect of smell or sometimes temperature. At the butcher it's the open case, at the fridge its the cold air, etc. It's a really interesting idea, but to most people it probably looks like a mistake.
ReplyDeleteGlad they gave it a try, though.
