1943 Household Searchlight Recipe Book

I'm sharing with you the next 5 delicious dessert sauces in the series from my Household Searchlight Recipe Book.

One of them was created by Florence Taft Eaton. You may not know her by name, but you know at least one of her recipes. It's famous. It's an American tradition. Each Thanksgiving when you prepare and eat sweet potatoes with marshmallows, think of Florence. She is credited for creating the original version of this very famous, vintage recipe for Good Housekeeping in the 1920s. She called her dish Sweet Potatoes de Luxe.

Click here for Part Three of the 15 Delicious Dessert Sauces.

Today I'm sharing the next five sauces, because we can never have too many to refer to when we prepare desserts.

You might notice that three of the recipes were written by Grace Viall Gray of Glen Ellyn, Ill. So who was she? She was an associate professor of Home Economics at Iowa State College and later the Director of Gray Institute of Home Economics in Chicago. She was also the author of numerous books.

I hope you enjoy these recipes. Share your own in the linky below.

Have a great Thursday,
