Recipe for Sleep – A Sleepcast is a cozy place to put your thoughts when it’s time for your mind to rest. We’ve got a library full of very old cookbooks, 1850-1925, at our fingertips and we’re going to read each one to you, sweetly and slowly, one recipe at a time. Recipes are simultaneously full of beautiful imagery, (particularly for those of us who thrill in delicious food,) and soothingly dull. Host Erin Brindley’s gentle narration and the nostalgic allure of Victorian simplicity create a calming atmosphere that eases you into a restful sleep. A perfect way to quiet down your busy mind as sleep rises. Please use this podcast as a sleep podcast, or meditation podcast.
Your host Erin Brindley honed her somnolent voice while training as an actor at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. She later became the award-winning chef at Café Nordo in Seattle, WA. This podcast is the intersection of her two passions: Cooking and sleeping. For each episode she adapts a recipe for modern means and palates at ThankSalt.Com.

This is Recipe for Sleep, a podcast where we dust off very old cookbooks and let them lull us into dreamland. I’m Erin Brindley, a chef and storyteller. Tonight, I’ll be once again reading to you from The American Pastry Cook, published in 1894. I’ll read Jessup Whitehead’s recipes for pies, mostly, with a few ices at the end, if you’re still awake by then. As always with our old friend Jessup, recipes are interspersed with the occasional random opinion or story, which can seem a little out of nowhere, (like the story of the new night cook not knowing to sweeten pumpkin pies and ruining a hotel’s booming pumpkin pie business.) They are what I like about this book so much. Now it’s time to put away anything you were doing, and snuggle deep into your sweet covers and listen to me read you old cookbooks until you fall asleep.
