cookbook: ultra select dishes for afternoon teas 1913

  • Pickled Cantaloupe Recipe from 1913

    This is from the amazing Ultra Select Dishes for Afternoon Teas (1913). It’s a collection of recipes from chefs at high end hotel restaurants, and honestly it’s a crazy collection because all the recipes are meant for huge groups of customers, so the proportions are for, like, 20+ people at a time and not individual families like most other cookbooks. They’re also very high-brow recipes, quite different from the usual family cookbooks from the same time period.
