This book was apparently written by Helen McCully who was then the food editor of McCall's Magazine. She was a prolific cookbook author (and the person who introduced Julia Child to her neighbor, Jacques Pepin). I doubt Ms. McCully had all that much to do with this particular book, which you could get by sending 25 cents in stamps to the magazine. It's a genuine time-machine, filled with advice, photographs, and menus for "Nice Everyday Dinners" and "Tasty Casserole Meals." "Flavorful Eating for Four" features chili con carne and "Your Friday Dinner" is, of course, pan-fried fish fillets.
