Recipes From Yesteryear

Gleaned from Old Magazines and Cookbooks, along with precious hand written recipes passed down from generation to generation. Those rediscovered gems, borrowed from the pages of old files, shaken from patched, stained, lovingly worn family cookbooks, or found boxed and packed away in dusty attics, or chanced upon in some out of the way shelf in an old, country bookstore are here, set out to give pleasure to the cook and food aficianado alike. Anecdotal snippets, drawings and histories of recipes, humorous, odd and otherwise, are interwoven with the "reciepts" themselves - well some of them - in an endeavour to take us back to another year, another time, and maybe bring back again the delicious warmth, smells and tastes remembered from the kitchens of our childhood.
