Yep, it’s still winter, and there’s plenty of snow all over, piled up on sidewalks and at every street corner. Fear not, however. The heat and humidity of summer will be here soon enough! And with that comes another round of my historic cooking series Fireside Feasts out at Brooklyn’s Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum. HUZZAH! I [...]

treasure hunt
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged cast iron tea kettle, eBay, historic cooking equipment on February 18, 2010 | 3 Comments »
A recent purchase through good ol’ eBay. I’d been looking for something like it a long, LONG time. Reminds me of what I used back in the day while at Conner Prairie (when the interpretive emphasis was on life of the 1830′s and not the mish-mash it is today). I love just gazing at it! [...]

Something else that begins to show up in 19th century published cookbooks here in America are receipts for New-York Cup Cake. Yep, New Year’s and now, New York. Before I go any further, we need to look at those two little words “cup cake.” What they do NOT refer to are those small individual fluffy [...]

Howdy. Yeah, I’m still here. Gee, what has it been? Ten days?!? eeegad. It’s amazing how chunks of time can pass by basically unnoticed. It sure flies when you’re…doing other things! dagnabit. There was some personal business, feeling under the weather, then a bit of…well…oh, blah, blah, blah. Excuses, mckooses! My apologies. Now let’s get [...]

Receipts for New Year’s Cake also found a place in the pages of individual manuscript (handwritten) cookbooks. Below is one from the home of Elizabeth Van Rensselaer (1799-1835), who was a member of the upstate-New York Philip Van Rensselaer family.

Yes Virginia, there is…SNOW! And as those who know me can tell you, I just LOVE it. A major storm has been barreling up the eastern seaboard this weekend. A bit slow to start here, it picked up earlier this evening. I’ve already been out in it… twice. It’s a lovely, true winter wonderland. HUZZAH! [...]
