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

...include menu plans and recipes (and shopping lists) I found to give me many more vegetarian ideas than I was coming up with! -- at https://www.etsy.com/listing/217130438/one-month-of-vegetarian-clean-eating . Also includes a couple of my favorite cooks -- Nigel Slater and Jacques Pépin. Oh, sorry, you can hardly see my favorite-looking cookbook of this little lot -- the fun 1927 Piggly Wiggly Daily Health Menus Balanced Diet collection of menus and recipes for a year by "Chef Wyman" -- there's information about it from a seller I discovered two seconds ago -- http://justask.ecrater.com/p/6357345/rare-1927-cookbook-piggly-wiggly-daily .

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!
