the cookbook archives
I was recently given three file boxes full of old cookbooks, to sort through and keep as I wish. I have only made it partway through the first box, but already I have saved the old Julia Child French cooking book, a bread cookbook, and a collection of homemade ice cream and cake from the editors of some "farm living" type of magazine. From this last comes what must surely be the most disgusting cake ever: sausage cake, whose ingredients include a pound of sausage, coffee, cloves, and frosting. I mean, what?
