thefourthvine, there has been much merry discussion about a book titled A Thousand Ways To Please A Husband with Bettina's Best Recipes. It was written in 1917, and features the lovely Bettina, a chipper new housewife, and her husband Bob, who loves his mom's cooking and appreciates "man-sized meals." It actually seems to be a novel cleverly disguised as a cookbook.
Here is a page with a few scans from the book, and here you can download the book for yourself, to read recipes like the one for chocolate cake that involves quite a lot of potato but very little chocolate.
"No you cannot live on kisses,
Though the honeymoon is sweet,
Hearken, brides, a true word this is -
even lovers have to eat."
