Chocolate Lovers will
find the Hershey’s 1934
Cookbook interesting
because of its many reci-
pes for cakes, icings and
sauces, pies, desserts,
breads, cookies, candies
and beverages. Nostalgia
seekers will find the book’s
“Remember When” sec-
tion describing ‘he econ-
omy, lifestyle and mood of
the 30’s fascinating. Since
I am both a chocolate
lover and nostalgia seeker,
I have found it to be one of
my favorite cookbooks.
“decade of mixed Dbless-
had a population of 123
million with 53 million of
those people living on
farms. The hourly wage
was 44 cents; 25 percent of
the labor force was unem-
ployed.
The average American
family lived in a six-room
home with one car garage
that cost $2,500. People
were recovering from the
great depression but
money was still tight.
Radios brought entertain-
ment to many homes with
families enjoying shows
like ‘“‘Amos ‘n’ Andy’,
‘Thomas er songs’by the
“Songbird of the South”
Kate Smith.
Saturday night was
movie night to 60-million
people who paid an admis-
sion of 25 cents for adults
and 10 cents for children.
Clark Gable, Will Rogers,
Janet Gaynor, Mae West,
W.C. Fields were the mati-
nee idols of the day.
The American housewife
worked very hard to make
ends meet, considering the
economy. Home gardens
and canning were the
norm in most Kitchens,
with fruits and vegetables
preserved for future use.

5c loaf, seems to be
remarkably cheap but
remember the hourly
wage was only 44 cents.
Everything was made
from scratch. Cakes, pies,
cookies were all made in
mother’s spare time. If a
family lived on a farm,
butter, milk, and eggs
were readily available for
cooking needs. When pur-
chased butter sold for 28c
pound, sugar cost 5 cents a
pound, milk was 10 cents a
quart and eggs cost 29
cents dozen. Housewives
prided themselves on their
fine baked goods.
In addition to the histori-
cal information, the Her-
shey’s 1934 Cookbook gives
its readers some hints on
cooking and baking with
chocolate. Cocoa may be
chocolate; 3 tablespoons of
cocoa plus 1 tablespoon of
shortening equals 1 ounce
baking chocolate. Choco-
late easily absorbs odors
so be sure to wrap it
tightly when storing. Choc-
olate deflates stiffly
beaten egg white mix-
tures, so fold in carefully
just until it is blended. To
make chocolate curls,
draw blade of vegetable
parer over smooth side of
a slight warm block of
chocolate.
Of course the most
important part of any
cookbook is its recipes.
