The culinary book of my great -grandmother. Gilbert E.

Elezabeth Gilbert's book and her great -grandmother Margaret is not so much a collection of recipes as a time traveling to the reader to America of the middle of the last century, when the housewives baked homemade bread, were able to cook sauce from capers at least three ways and waited a dozen for dinner guests. And lunch has always been a great occasion to arrange a small holiday to share with friends the spiritual warmth and the joy of being.
