Hello from the kitchen
This is a kitchen for old recipes — the ones written down before anyone was in a hurry, when a cake took three weeks and an oven had no dial on it. Most are close to unusable as written, so the work here is putting them back into a form you can actually cook from. The books are published under Guava Tree Press.
