Illustrations from Warnes Model Cookery by Mary Jewry, circa 1868
Happy New Year to each and every one of my blog readers, patrons, family and friends! I thought I would serve you a visual feast today by sharing these decadent culinary illustrations from a recently acquired antique cookbook. Our New Year's feast will look nothing like this as we've opted for a more simple fare--a slow cooker full of hearty ham and bean soup with spice cake for dessert. Wishing you and all of yours a prosperous, healthy (and slightly decadent) 2011!!
