BIG Book Sale (Books for Keeps) Cooking Pamphlets - Betty Crocker Cakes, Italian Cooking, Freezing Foods

How to Have the Most Fun with Cakes Mixes, no publication date. This 35 page booklet appears to date from the late 1950's to the early 1960's. The recipes are variations on several cakes mixes available from Betty Crocker at the time the booklet was available. The mixes included White, Chocolate Devil's Food, Yellow, Marble and Peanut Delight.

The Canadian Guide to Italian Cooking, no publication date. The book was used to promote the Catelli-Habitant family of fine products and probably dates to 1960 when the company  acquired Dominion Preserving (Habitant) and Dyson's Limited and expanded their line of offerings. I confess to buying this booklet mainly due to the title!

How to Freeze Food, again no publication date. The booklet appears to be a handout from the Minnesota Agricultural Extension and dates from the late 1950's to early 1960's. Tips and recipes for freezing vegetables, meats, seafood, fruit and baked goods. I use the sugar method when I "put up" strawberries during the summer.
