I have a copy of the original Silver Palate cookbook (which I hesitate to announce turns 25 years old this year). I love to read it, but I don't cook much out of it. Never did. You are way more adventurous with cooking than I'm willing to bother with.<BR/><BR/>But I have made ratatouille, long before The French Laundry. Mostly as a way to use up too many summer zucchini. Good stuff! I shall have to try this recipe. (I think the one I've done is out of Joy of Cooking. I know it's not in my old red plaid Betty Crocker ring-binder cookbook.)<BR/><BR/>Bought a wonderful Pillsbury Bake Off cookbook circa 1968 at a junk shop last Saturday. It smells of mothballs, but the recipes are a hoot. Lots of color pictures. Lots of recipes for quick upside-down fruit cakes of all sorts. Lots of references to a Pillsbury frosting mix that's no longer available. I love old cookbooks -- they represent a historical era of food.LinChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719789591792404237noreply@blogger.com
