Description
Mary Blake wrote Party Sweets, a small recipe book copyrighted in 1960 by the Carnation Company of Los Angeles. The book teaches candy making with Carnation evaporated milk. Its pages carry the company's claim that the milk works like cream with half the fat and cost.
Recipes begin with candies, opening on peanut clusters made with brown sugar, peanut butter, and the canned milk. The text insists that good candy must be cream smooth, never coarse or grainy. Step by step directions give amounts, pan sizes, and boiling times. The book is both a cookbook and an ad, a common pair in its day. Home cooks got party sweets and a sales pitch in one small package.
