Hats off to Handwritten Recipes, a site paying homage to recipes found tucked inside books. (The third one below, which is a little hard to read, is a recipe for something called "Charlie Chaplin Cocktail," discovered in the "Thesaurus of Humor.")
Via the Paris Review. Have a happy Monday!
Aah, neat (that is the only word I can think of right now). You always post such interesting discoveries. Still grateful to you for otherwordly!
ReplyDeleteI think if I went through my grandma's bookshelves I could find a recipe tucked in the majority of the books. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis recipes are really Tasty!!
ReplyDeletei knew hand writing recipes i like will come hand one day. maybe i'll start sticking them in my books.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic. I love to cook so it would feel so special (honored, even!) to find one.
ReplyDeleteYou find the best things!
ReplyDeleteHow cool. Very interesting site! One that I would never have found on my own. Good find.
ReplyDeleteOh, Shoko - these are great! And the books are hilarious! I'm not sure what to think of the condensed milk salad dressing. In fact, I'd rather not think about it :)
ReplyDeleteCW, I'm so glad you've liked them! Otherwordly is so awesome :)
ReplyDeleteLisa, haha! I had the same thought. Not quite on board...
Oh, how neat! What a brilliant idea. I don't know what it is -- but I adore old recipes sketched on notecards... there's just something about them. <3
ReplyDeleteNeat, but the condensed milk salad dressing doesn't sound that appetizing!!
ReplyDeleteoooo! I love this so much! It's my love of books and recipes all rolled into one. Hand-written recipes are the best and I recently snagged some of my grandma's recipe cards from my mom.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad that handwriting is a dying art. But in turn, it's become such an intimate form of self-expression and love. Win some, lose some...
ReplyDeleteEmmett, I totally agree. Gross! :)
ReplyDeleteNicole, that's so awesome. I bet there's some great stuff on those cards!
