The Compleat Martini Cook Book

I found this book (and yes, the name is spelled incorrectly) at the Rose Bowl Flea Market last Sunday. The pictures are fabulous, the recipes sound pretty bad (but after a few martinis, who really cares?) The book was published in 1957 and is dedicated to all of the publishers that rejected it. The recipes are simple to follow and involve things like canned soup and frozen peas.

    Thanks for sharing! I've never come across this book and I have hundreds of vintage cookbooks. I'll be on the lookout for this, I love the graphics!

    The book was a bit of a splurge, but so much fun!
