Happy New Year from Rotorua Library

New Year's Best Recipes, 1959.

From the 1958/59 UBD for Rotorua.

These recipes from the Universal Business Directory are heavy on the Whittome Stevenson products, but tomato sauce of any brand is still popular today! My goodness how recipes have moved on.

The Rotorua Library has an incomplete collection of these Business Directories from 1957-1969. A walk down memory lane from Polly Pennant on Household Hints is also worth a read as some methods are still the best. 

In UBD for Rotorua 1957/58.
These gems can be perused in the Heritage & Research collection of the Rotorua Library.
