Welcome to A Retro Kitchen!: A cool and free 100th anniversary ecookbook

Compliments of Sun-Maid: http://www.sunmaid.com/book/ -- from whom I just bought some delicious raisins today -- is a very generous 175-plus-page ecookbook.

Doesn't this bread look delicious? Hmm, much better than the raisin bread I made today! I should've looked up this book before trying that other recipe -- the raisin package is where I heard of this...

You'll find old and new ideas on this site...

I love playing with both food and history and am trying to combine these loves here and in various projects. My most recently published was a fun 3-volume set, which you can get free below, which speaks much of cuisine in a little known part of the world from earliest times to 700 CE....Speaking of old, this is a reincarnation of three old blogs, one shared with friends all over the world and called something like Our Favorite Food This Week, and then one called That Was Delicious that started my toying with retro food ideas, and then A History Writer in the Kitchen where I explored history more....I have kept many posts from those blogs, including many recipes I thought you might like.

Enjoy!
