"Nothing brings back the decades of our lives like the memories of meals past. 60 Years of Home Cooking is more than a cookbook; it is a celebration of Texas rural life through recipes, reminiscences, collages and documentary photography. From its inception in 1944, Texas Co-op Power magazine from which these recipes are drawn, introduced members of electric cooperatives to a new world of modern conveniences. At first, articles explained to readers how and what to cook in their glorious new temperature-controlled ovens and how to make the best use of modern refrigeration. hrough the decades, the magazine's recipes pages-including a deluge of monthly contributions from readers-became more adventurous. But the recipes have always been practical-geared to an audience of day-in, day-out cooks with limited resources and limited time. To this day, the recipes are the most popular feature of the magazine, which has a monthly circulation of more than 1 million households and businesses, making it the most widely distributed Texas magazine."
