Multitasking circa 1950


Sometimes cooking is boring. All of that stirring, cutting and chopping can be repetitive. This illustration (from the Boston Globe Cookbook) shows how to cook without paying attention. The magazine that this chef is reading is called "Stomps" or "Stumps". Either way, it's an intriguing niche market. It appears to be an enthralling periodical, as the chef can't tear herself away to look where she's pouring. We can't be sure what she's cooking, or if we'd ever want to eat it due to her distraction. Eggshell cake? Oh goody!
