Welcome to A Retro Kitchen!: A fantastic toasted cheese sandwich!

I saw the idea for this combination in a retro cookbook I haven't been able to relocate, but I wanted to share my version with you:

a delicious toasted cheese sandwich

Make your favorite way with, in order,

your favorite bread for this

country mustard

some frozen grilled red pepper (jarred would work great too)

your favorite cheese for this

smoked paprika

Refreshing served with coleslaw (I found a nice one in Jamie's America).

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!
