A Dollop of History

For my annual Halloween post, I decided to explore the wonderful world of 19th century spiritualism and throw in some food history as a bonus.

I’ve been on a lemonade kick lately so I decided to hunt for a new recipe in 19th century cookbooks.

It would not be a proper Halloween season around my house without making some kind of historic treat!

My husband loves to bake bread and has been dedicated to mastering different methods and techniques.

I had high hopes for putting a weird holiday recipe out there, but October really got away from me.

Hattie Burr was forty-five years old when she published the first of many women’s suffrage fundraising cookbooks in the United States.

I have been away for quite some time, preoccupied with finishing my Master’s degree!

Some time ago I participated in a WWII-era rationing cooking challenge and made three recipes using only ingredients that I already had on hand.

I am very excited to announce that I have created a digital archive for historic food resources!

One of the projects that has been sitting in my queue is medieval-era pasta.
