The Mocidade Portuguesa Feminina, an institution created in 1937 by the New State, with the aim of inculcating in children and youth the ideals espoused by the regime, had several publications, including Menina e Moça, started in 1947. This article examines the culinary concerns in that publication in the years 1947 to 1962 (when the Mocidade Portuguesa Feminina celebrated 25 years of existence). We study the information, advice, warnings, and exhortations to the preparation, maintenance, and service of meals, as well as recipes, inserted regularly since 1952 in a section titled "To your cookbook".
