Aunt Sammy came to life with the first radio broadcast of “Housekeeper’s Chat” on October 4, 1926. The character of Aunt Sammy—wife of Uncle Sam—was created by the USDA Bureau of Home Economics and the Radio Service. Many women across the country played the part as they spoke into the microphones of local radio stations.

Aunt Sammy soon became popular. By the end of the first year her program was carried by 43 radio stations. By 1932, 194 stations were broadcasting Aunt Sammy’s show. A number of the stations were broadcasting the show five times a week.

This 50th anniversary recipe collection includes recipes from current publications and a selection of recipes from the first edition of “Aunt Sammy’s Radio Recipes.” All of these recipes have been retested in the laboratory and found acceptable by taste panels.
