Welcome to Litsy!

A fascinating '20s time capsule on cooking and hospitality. Though the recipes ranged from utterly mystifying to downright revolting (so much aspic! So many hard-boiled eggs shoved through a sieve!), the prose is lovely. For instance, on weddings: "...goblets of sparkling drink, delicious fragrance of rosemary, lavender, and cedar wood...music, laughter, and the love of friends. What an hour to remember later in the silence and the starlight."

Looking ahead to a bit of March reading- three for the #PemberLittens and a new #PersephonePick. I've really been looking forward to these; here's hoping I can keep up!

Pretty Persephone #bookmail. Books in my mailbox make my heart happy. 😁
