Creative Cooking with Aluminum Foil

Are you in the mood to do some creative cooking? Do you have a roll of aluminum foil? You're all set! These recipes, from 1967's Reynolds Wrap Creative Cooking with aluminum foil, will provide a jumping off point for endless foil-wrapped possibilities! If you find yourself troubled by the waste created by said foil, wash it and reuse it - I won't tell!

"To begin with" (the name of the section in the book), we have appetizers. Eleanor Lynch, Director of Home Economics for the Reynolds Metal Company, instructs that you can prepare these ahead of time, "arrange them on a foil-covered cookie sheet, cover with foil and refrigerate." It's imperative that lots of foil is involved.

Planning a girl's night? Afraid your dunce of a husband or other inept family members might starve? Here are some foil wrapped meals they can't screw up! I hope none of them are vegetarians - they'd be out of luck.

You don't think Eleanor would dream of skipping dessert, do you? Here we have Tell-Your-Neighbor Cake, topped with Beat 'n' Eat Frosting. It says the silver dragees are optional, but only if you're a slacker who shirks cake decorating duty. Otherwise they're mandatory!

Bon appetit!
