Welcome to A Retro Kitchen!: This Week's Cookbooks

So many recipes looked easy as well as tasty in this month's eat in magazine from the UK that we'll be trying many of them this week/in the next 10ish days actually, as I'm still finding it works to plan for more than just a week of food for us, leaving me more time for other projects.

Also planning on a couple meals from Jamie's amazing 30-Minute Meals.

And for retro inspiration for breakfasts and lunches, the very cool Chicago Record Cookbook from 1896.

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!
