Welcome to A Retro Kitchen!: Wonderful handmade dishes!

I recently treated myself to a couple beautiful coffee cups -- in my recent grief I've been dropping things left and right in my retro kitchen, and figured it was time to slow down, be careful, take care of myself more consciously....I found this and another and will be checking her shop again, because not only does she make beautiful things, they are safe and very well made: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PotterybyTeresa

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!
