"Food for the Family" by Jennie S. Wilmot and Margaret Q. Batjer is a comprehensive guide to home economics, first published in earlier editions, with this sixth edition released by J. B. Lippincott Company in 1966. This hardcover volume, printed in Philadelphia and New York, reflects the evolving understanding of family nutrition and home cooking practices of its time. Wilmot, an Associate Professor Emeritus of Home Economics at The University of Texas, and Batjer, an Associate Professor of Foods and Nutrition at The Pennsylvania State University, bring their academic expertise to this practical guide.
