Welcome to A Retro Kitchen!: A wonderful cookbook from 1988

From my goodreads:

Feasts and Friends: Recipes from a Lifetime by Sylvia Thhmpson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read a wonderful article by Sylvia Thompson in an old Gourmet magazine and had to get more from her. This was the best-written cookbook I've ever read, including marvelous organization. It also has extremely helpful tips on making the very wide variety of recipes she includes. BTW, if you're into old Hollywood, you'll adore the early chapters!

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!
