Tupperware founder's history and various culinary lifestyle guides

This collection of lifestyle and culinary features covers a variety of domestic topics, ranging from historical biographies to practical kitchen advice.

The history of Tupperware is detailed, tracing the journey of inventor Earl Tupper. After developing a flexible polyethylene plastic using industrial waste at DuPont, Tupper created the iconic airtight lid. While the product initially struggled, sales were driven by Brownie Wise, a door-to-door salesperson who understood the brand's potential. Tupper eventually lived a solitary life in Costa Rica.

Culinary guides provide diverse recipes and tips, including a light strawberry and Skyr dessert by Laurent Mariotte, a rose and raspberry cake by Marie Imbert, and various summer tiramisu iterations. Practical advice is also offered on using banana peels in cooking, utilizing apple cores for natural pectin, and creating zucchini-based dips or flans. Additionally, the collection includes guidance on selecting a microwave and a classic thin pastry recipe attributed to Auguste Escoffier.
