Susan Makes Ice Cream

(Page 90) August 1945.  Good Housekeeping.

 
Another running feature during this period is "Cooks' Kindergarten" (and it's counterpart, "Homemakers' Kindergarten").  In these articles, a fictitious woman named Susan is described as being knowledgeable in various activities.  In this case, the unnamed writer says that Susan knows how to make ice cream and explains how she makes it.

The picture above contains recipes for homemade vanilla, coffee, and chocolate ice cream, as well as special instructions for those using a crank freezer.  "P.S. Susan always keeps a package of ice-cream mix on hand."

The style of this running feature mirrors the etiquette lessons often found at the beginning of the magazine.   Note that this is not simply an article explaining in a direct manner how to make ice cream; it is an article about how "Susan" makes ice cream.
