Joe Pearson …. the last of the illustrations
May 30, 2014
I’ve been gathering the last of the wonderful Joe Pearson Illustrations from my 1961 version of Betty Crocker‘s New Picture Cook Book. Wherever in the world you are, you will appreciate these, for their wit, skill and visually descriptive ability.
Everyone loves cookies !
Even if you plan to get away from it all ….
and have some fun away from home, you’ll still need to curl up somewhere with some heart warming food.
Can’t you just smell that coffee !
And if you’re planning on being the true domestic goddess for that ‘Honey I’m home’ man in your life …
Then it may be worthwhile remembering a few tips from Betty C !
Joe had a superb style and was a truly talented artistic genius. A little more of Joe’s work available here.

Thank you, if you see anything similar in the italian second hand book shops for a reasonable price then do grab it for me please : )
Oooh, are you telling me to go shopping for you?? In bookshops????? Are you sure you want to do that cos I never come out of a bookshop with just one book!!! I know where there is a gloriously bonkers second hand bookshop and have a wet afternoon to spare today……I shall keep you informed……..!!!! ;o) xxx
Yes please…. but only 1950’s or 60’s stuff like I post on my blog eg Roger Duvoisin and Helen Borten or cookery type books with these kind of illustrations. (You can type them into my search function on my site for a visual). I know you’re a good browser so fingers crossed you might find me a gem : )
Right-oh, I accept your mission!!! ;o) xxx
