Simple wasn't simple in the 50's and 60's. Women were staying home and cooking all day and putting pride in their dishes. Not Rachael Ray 30 minute meals, unless the women made TV dinners.
Try to look on ebay for a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook from that era. I still use that one that my mother gave me. Most recipes are labor-intensive. But I love them!
