Looks like I spoke (er, wrote?!) too soon. Kinda. Sorta. You see, I HAVE found a pre-19th century American receipt for tomatoes. HUZZAH! However, it’s not in a published cookbook of that era, but in a family manuscript cookbook: Harriott Pinckney Horry’s receipt book of 1770, published as A Colonial Plantation Cookbook in 1984. It’s [...]

you say tomato, I say tomata

After posting the 17th Century tomato receipt that we used in last week’s modern cooking class at ICE, I began looking through my other historical cookbooks for more. Based on the books that I have, which are mostly British and American, there are no published receipts using tomatoes until the early 19th Century. The first [...]

I mentioned in my most recent post that we used what is believed to be the first tomato receipt published in Europe during last week’s historical Spanish cooking class at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE). I thought I’d share it with you. It’s actually from an Italian cookbook, Lo Scalo alla Moderna, written by [...]
Spanish cooking of long ago

This past Thursday eve, I participated in a modern historical cooking class at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE). Wait, “a modern historical cooking class”? How can that be? Well, you see…everything was prepared in ICE’s high-end, thoroughly modern kitchens, using modern ingredients and equipment and traditional modern recipes. The historical part was the fact [...]
Mystery Kitty, revisited

I thought I’d step off the historic cookery path a moment and share with you additional photos I took recently of the cat who’s taken up residence in my backyard. As you may recall from when I wrote about him (or her? still not sure) several months ago, I call him Mystery Kitty. He’s been [...]
fritters!

Sunday’s Apple Fest at Wyckoff was a huge success. I cooked up one batch of apple fritters after another and another. They were then quickly eaten by anyone standing nearby. Mmmm, mmmm, yummy! In fact, if you weren’t standing right there, ready and waiting to grab one when they came hot off the fire, you [...]
frittering away at Wyckoff

As I mentioned previously, I’ll be out at Wyckoff this afternoon mixing up batches of apple fritters and frying them over the open fire. There are dozens of receipts for these little goodies in assorted historic cookbooks. As is often the case, all of them are basically the same, with only minor differences here and [...]

I made my reservation and paid the fee way back in February (nothing like planning ahead, ay?!). I bought my train ticket the other day. Yep, I was all set and looking forward to it. What is “it”? Well, today I was supposed to be going over to Historic Speedwell in Morristown, NJ. I was [...]

Wyckoff will be offering its annual Apple Fest this coming Sunday, September 20. There’ll be the usual music, house tours, and arts ‘n crafts. Of course, I’ll be out there whippin’ up batches of yummy apple fritters. They’re quite tasty, served fresh off the open fire! Assorted toppings optional. _______________ So, if anyone out there [...]
brief side trip

There’s alot more that I could write about ice cream and its incredible history, but I think I’ll save it for later. Or, well, at least for another day. (Yes, I have a couple more things to cover.) For now, though, I want to take a break by mentioning a simply FANTASTIC program I attended [...]
