I has lots of them.
And being that they're too pretty/funny/out of date/charming/full of aspic and jellied meat salads, I feel it is my duty to share them with the larger population.
This year I will be profiling each of my books, and attempting a recipe found within its yellowed pages. Pages marked with annotations of home cooks from yesteryear, dog-eared and sometimes covered in flour and goodness knows what else. I will also hunt for the most disgusting-sounding recipe I can find, and show you all the quaint bits and pieces they feature.
If you have any questions, or requests, or see something in a photo you want the recipe for, leave a comment or email me: mamavegetable@gmail.com.
