Isabella Beeton may have died in 1865, but through numerous posthumous editions of her huge, and hugely popular “Book of Household Managment”, she gained a fame that continues to this day. What set her book apart was its clarity and scope. Containing 1,700 recipes, including 76 soups, 97 sauces and 109 puddings, and much more on topics ranging from dusting to blood-letting, it aimed to turn the reader into a 19th-century domestic goddess.

Looking for just the right dish to serve to guests this 4th of July? Something festive? Something colorful? Something that looks like you just threw it together the last minute? Look no further. Del Monte, Ladies Home Journal 1964, has supplied a simple recipe that would have a home economics teacher sighing. You'll send your guests home with something in their stomachs. I'm not sure how long they'll keep it down or if they'll even stay...but...perhaps if you have relatives coming that you wish would leave early....
