I’m a webmaster/journalist/social media guru by day. By night, I’m a closet history freak. I love food! I love food from the past! And I feel happiest in the kitchen. That’s how this blog was born. When I’m not cooking historical recipes, I’m taking care of my two daughters, my husband, and our crazy coon dog. Thanks for reading my blog and if you try any of the recipes I post-or if you have a recipe you’d like me to try-post a comment! I’d love to hear from you!

I love your website
I’m off today to find the Penzey spices…..I found a store that has them a few miles from my home. Have never heard of them, you seem to use them quite often.
Check your Egg Biscuit recipe…..you forgot to put in the baking powder (word).
The Brunswich Stew recipe confused me about the leg quarter …….I figured out that a breast is attached to the leg and not just legs….. duh me
Love love love your writing and stepping back in time!! Looking forward to more of your finds.

Check out The Henry Ford Village in Dearborn. Mi
at Christmas time they serve a holiday coarse dinner, you would enjoy seeing their turn of the century
menu.
and
The menu at The Holly Inn in Holly, Mi also has a Christmas coarse dinner of 1800′s England.
Thank you for your kinds words, Mary! I fixed my egg biscuit recipe-good catch. I LOVE Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum-I live in Cincinnati, so we only get there every 5-10 years but it is my favorite place and my dream job would be working in the Firestone Farm kitchen! That’s really how this blog got started. Our family visited and ate at the Tavern and I thought, “I wonder if I could cook like this at home.” Thanks for your readership-best New Year’s present ever!
Thanks for following my blog. You have a lovely blog. I hope to spend sometime browsing and hope to see more of your posts. Happy Easter!
