The book begins with a quote from Nadezhda Krupskaya, Lenin's widow, reading "You know, we should keep it simple, don't overthink it to make nutrition healthy. Some think, more fatty foods, more pastries and cakes or something like that; but it isn't healthy for children." The discussions, nutrition tables, menu selections, etc. that follow are actually quite good and useful. The book is designed in a style resembling an illustrated children's book, which is also quite thoughtful, making it easier for future moms to absorb the material during housekeeping lessons at school.

There was only one problem with this book: Khrushchev's voluntarism in economy quickly led to empty shelves in grocery stores, ration cards, and huge lines when suddenly and infrequently, some edibles appeared for sale. Showcase cities like Moscow and Leningrad were supplied much better than the rest of the country, so a large part of the rest of the country came to the capitals by train to buy groceries. The trains were nicknamed "sausage trains" for the smell of sausage permeating the train on the way back from Moscow, or Leningrad, or Kiev, or a few others. Very few others.

In excellent condition, showing just minimal wear to the leatherette of the cover. The binding is tight and strong, all the internal pages are in place and free of any significant wear.
