So, was it her own wife she was cooking, or someone else's?

Tragically, I do not know, as the book is stuck in that Not Available limbo, which means that it's on order, failed to be properly transferred from the old catalog system, or some other thing that means we have a record for it, but the physical book is in an unknown location.

My favorite is Consent to Sexual Intercourse.

Oh, I dunno... I always assumed to cook a wife, a husband just had to set them to a slow simmer with annoying behaviors, stirring or poking occasionally to let off steam. :D

I thought it was a typos, but she also has a book called "How to Cook Husbands" so ... apparently the book was published before 1923. Interesting.
