Artifact Overview

A Ford Motor Company recipe book might seem unusual, but the automaker appealed to customers through wide-ranging marketing efforts in the post-World War II era. Beginning in 1950, writer and food critic Nancy Kennedy compiled recipes from Ford's promotional magazines, Ford Times and Lincoln-Mercury Times, in a series of recipe books. These "Treasuries of Favorite Recipes" spotlighted noteworthy American restaurants.
