Produced by the American Dairy Association by Bob Atcher Films, Inc., this short film from the 1960s is both a home economics instructional film, and a promotional for dairy products. The film examines some of the new ideas in the kitchen that a girl learned in her home economics class. She also shares these with her mother. The film particularly focuses on a new ingredient “instant non-fat dry milk” and the girl uses this to make different recipes for a party, such as meatloaf, a pie, brownies, pizza, and a punch. The mother is constantly accompanying her daughter and is impressed that she is learning many new things as well.
