Figures I’d hear about Peg Bracken six months after her demise in 2007. She was indeed the original Bad Home Cook.
Such a kindred soul was she that I put out a search warrant for a copy of her I Hate to Cook Book. Alas, it was long out of print, and searches for it on the various online booksellers used and new – came up with naught.
One reader even offered to send me her mother’s old copy. How could I? I politely declined.
Now come to find out the book has been reprinted for its 50th anniversary. It actually came out in July, but I wasn’t paying attention — the very character trait that so vexes my cooking.
Can’t wait to get my copy. Stay tuned for my version of Bracken’s infamous stay-a-bed stew…
