Discover a fascinating piece of culinary history with this original 1935 "Thought for Food" recipe leaflet, issued weekly by The Kroger Grocery and Baking Co. This vintage ephemera showcases the innovative food trends and household hints of the era, featuring a charming illustration of a top-hatted tomato on a ship, proclaiming "TOMATOES TRAVEL in THE BEST DISHES!". It includes a delightful "mystery spice cake" recipe, "cream cheese frosting," and highlights Avondale Tomato Purée, offering a glimpse into early brand advertising.

The reverse side presents "let's talk it over by Jean Allen," with a portrait and commentary on natural beauty and taste appeal. Recipes featured include classic dishes like "Spanish Rice," "Cauliflower, Tomato Casserole," "Barbecued Short Ribs," and "Tomato-Noodles." This rare document not only provides authentic recipes from the Great Depression era but also serves as a collectible snapshot of American domestic life, food culture, and the evolution of grocery store marketing. It's a perfect addition for collectors of vintage cookbooks, advertising ephemera, or anyone interested in historical culinary arts.
