I was excited when I got this book from the library. Simple ingredients and techniques. Abandoned recipes from another age. I made about four things, to the letter, and hated all of them. Better read than fed.

I read this book many years ago but found it again. Outstanding.

I love cookbooks of heriloom and vintage recipes but this one seemed dated. For the subject matter, how is that possible? Perhaps bad presentation, can't put my finger on it. Oh, I love how the book description has in BOLD type "Full-color photos". The only color photo is the dust jacket, the whole book is black and white!!!!

I have made quite a few of the recipes in the book and have liked all of them except one. But I tweaked that one and now I like it, too. I found the "Cleveland Ratatouille" on page 110 especially good.
