Not bookish in the normal sense,
but on Friday I used South Australian cookbooks
to prepare my contribution to a Retro Cook Off.
My dinner party is here if anyone likes looking at
foodstuffs that probably should never
have seen the light of day again!
Salmon Meringue Tart, for instance...
Well I've just looked at the menu and the only thing I fancy is your pea dish. My dad had an allotment in the '70s so we were mainly a meat/veg family but I do remember my Mum going to cookery lessons and coming back with dishes like you made. As a child I found them incredibly rich. Love the Mateus Rose!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The peas weren't bad. The booze was better!
