Fifty-two Sunday dinners : A book of recipes

A practical guide for the busy home cook, this collection offers a full year’s worth of Sunday‑night menus that are both seasonal and manageable. Each chapter presents a thoughtfully balanced main, side, and dessert, all designed to be wholesome without demanding endless preparation time. The recipes reflect the everyday concerns of keeping meals nutritious, tasty, and within a sensible budget.

The book emphasizes simplicity and economy, introducing many dishes that are new to the reader yet tested for reliable results. A notable feature is the recommendation of Cottolene, a pure vegetable shortening, as a healthier and more cost‑effective alternative to butter or lard. Whether you’re planning a modest family supper or a slightly more elaborate weekend feast, the suggestions provide useful ideas that can easily be adapted for everyday cooking throughout the year.
