This recipe is from the Valentine's section of New Holiday Cookbook, Favorite Recipes of Home Economics Teachers. There a lots and lots of home economist recipe books and I think the recipes tend to be good because like a community cookbook the contributor is giving their name with the recipe. It makes sense that they would only choose a recipe they knew was good.
