The front end page has an introduction with a red, black and white can of Carnation Milk above "Even in these wartime days...your family can 'eat well'!" There are recipes for soups, meats, eggs, vegetables, sauces, fish and seafood, ice cream and desserts. There are two recipes for "Butter Stretchers" in response to "Butter's scarce...butter's costly...butter calls for precious red stamps! But butter is also a pleasant, delicate way to get the fat a sound diet calls for."
