All yours for 7.00 plus 4.50 shipping.

This featured the recipes for use with the fabulous Roto-Broil "400" (like 400 is a magical number, don't you just love when they do that?) Introducing New Kitchen Freedom due to the Roto-Broil's rapid infra-red heat and New Kitchen Comfort since there would be no more sweltering over hot, steaming ovens.  (So funny, but it was 1955 after all, I miss those years.) Althought the book is in black and white, more ivory from age, the machine looks very 50's chrome and to tell the truth...I would enjoy a Roto-Broil today!  It did everything from barbecue, roast, broil, grill, roast, fry, boil, simmer and bake.  That's some machine, the 50's were fabulous...weren't they, sigh. On to the recipes..... The book if filled with recipes and I don't see where you would necessarily need a Roto-Broil to use them, but if you are a vintage fan and own one of these fabulour cookers all the better. Some of the recipes are as follows: Avacado Barbecue Spread for Broil Uncooked Meat Barbecue Sauce for Beef - cooked Barbecue Sauce for Ducks - uncooked Barbecue Sauce for Fish and Seafood - Uncooked Barbecue Sauce for Ham, cooked. Barbecues for cooked Lamb, Spring Lamb, Veal, Stuffed Capon, Knackwurst, Canadian Bacon, uncooked Pork, uncooked Poultry, Veal, Frozen Barbecue Sauce I and II   (isn't uncooked just another term for marinade?)  The book is sure filled with barbecue recipes.  It even has a recipe for Barbecued Rock Lobster Tails with an avocado spread and a barbecued baby turkey.  That's what it says 'Barbecued Baby Turkey'  They were beast in the 50's, who barbecues a baby turkey!  Well............................. A vintage treasure trove of salad dressings from French Dressing, Thousand Island, Roquefort and Chili Gravy From Drippings Cherry Sauce for Poultry
