After over a year, I have FINALLY put up a new food history recipe on my blog: Rhubarb Cups. I made this recipe last summer, but never did anything with my photos & notes...until I was reminded when I saw rhubarb plants growing wild in Banff National Park

I'm munching on my first piece of toast with this year's Apple Butter as I type this! Apple Butter is by far my favourite fruit spread, and I love that this 1850s recipe has no added sugar. I make this recipe every year: https://t.co/J5NPDHmL5S

@adriannap @ElizabethNelR Me too, Adrianna. We really lucked out with Elizabeth! Thank you for my introduction to historic house museums such a positive experience 💕

I'm cutting up the first ripe apples from my tree, well supervised, while drinking apple cider

These apples will become apple butter in my slow cooker (my recipe: https://t.co/vzedTPPkaO), but stay tuned for this year's food history apple recipes

What should I make?

My latest recipe on my food history blog for a simple & quick puff pastry is a keeper. Short or Flaky Pastry from the 1901 classic The Settlement Cook Book is light, flaky and a recipe that I'll be looking up on my own website in the future!

Cheese Straws - from the 1903 Good Housekeeping Everyday Cook Book - is my 3-year blogging anniversary recipe! This recipe is simple & delicious and would be a great way to use up extra pastry

Cup Cookies - the latest recipe on my food history blog. They're a mild lemon sugar cookie with an almond, sugar & cinnamon topping sprinkled on top. This recipe is from Aunt Babette’s Cook Book from 1889, and the leavening agent is Baker’s Ammonia

@VeniceDjayz @NellesManor Hi Leroy - I'm sorry I haven't responded earlier. I missed your question somehow! My food history blog can be found at https://t.co/0uaKX2epaU and you'll find many of the recipes made during open hearth cooking classes at @NellesManor

[Julia Baird @Cloud9Cookery]

Strawberry-fritters is the latest recipe up on my food history blog. We made them at an open hearth cooking class that I taught last summer @NellesManor and I liked this 1781 recipe so much that I made them again to share with all of you!

Fillets of Chickens, with Bechamel-ſauce and Bread-crumbs is up on my blog! We made this 1781 recipe at the last open hearth cooking class I taught at @NellesManor in 2019. I also explain the basics of salamanders & reflector ovens when cooking with fire
