Recipes from the Norwegian cook book “Snarmat for hverdag og fest” (Fast food for everydays and parties) published in 1956.

“Snarmat for hverdag og fest” is a cook book that both feature recipes like other cook books and ready made menus like the one pictured  here all with a delightful fifties flavour both in dishes and images. The small book feature 8 such menus and the rest will follow later on.
