Episode 32: More Culinary Heresies from the Opal Queen
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, and I'm going to read recipes to yo softly and sweetly, as you drift off to sleep.
Last episode we began 1891's “Quick Cooking: A Book of Culinary Heresies written by one of the heretics,” a very straightforward guide to simple cooking from the wonderful Flora Haines Loughead. If you didn’t catch episode 31, you might want to go back and listen to that just to hear about wonderful Flora, also known as the Opal Queen.
But tonight we’ll just sail right back into the middle of her lovely cookbook that savors simplicity over all other things. (Including in the way it is structured, you’ll notice this is all alphabetical and we’re starting with Cracked Wheat and Apricot Pudding and going right on through to the Lemon section. In between we’ll find Devilled Meat, Eggs, Scrambled, Fairy Butter, Graham Gems, Hash Puffs, Icing, Jelly Roll and Kidneys.
