While visiting an aged aunt last week she showed me a cookery book dating from 1768. What I found so delightful was how so much of it was familiar - at the back there were menus for each month
The organic box is back on - apparently they are making an exception for me and will deliver.
As there will be an element of surprise each week regarding what vegetables I receive I have an excuse to go through all my cookery books for inspiration.
Wow! What a special cookbook! It is really amazing to see that homemakers hundreds of years ago still tried to set weekly menus just as we do today.
ReplyDeleteI hope you tell of your weekly organic vegetable deliveries!
Hi, long time no speak so to speak, just thought you would be interested in a book i bought whist on my trip to Suffolk, it is a fat free vegetarian cook book by Anne Sheasby, it of course is nothing like your little recipe menu book, but it has some scrummy stuff in it. I am on the "D" word at the moment, i need to loose 2 stone, i am hoping to be able to do with vegetables and dry white wine! take care.......... Stephne
ReplyDeletehello my friend! hope you're well + of course harry too : )
ReplyDeletei didn't look properly 1st time round + decided i'd take the beef with greens + a florentine for afters from your cookbook (didn't fancy the slick'd tongue of chicken!)...then i realised that's just the 1st course + maybe it's not the sort of choc florentine i was imagining?!!
what a book though...totally inspiring + so beautifully scripted. i think you have a cookery book in you...will you write one someday? i volunteer for any recipe testing!
the veggie box is a great idea. is it expensive? please give us the update on the contents : ) are you growing anything this year in the gigibird garden? would you like some seeds? i have a harvest from my 1st go last year + would be delighted to send you some to pot on your windowsill! xxx
