pickI received this book from Librarything Early Member Giveaway for a honest review. This is my own opinions on this book. I enjoyed reading these quotes. It had different women in history. There were so many quotes that I loved. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

It's been a delight waking up to Jane quote everyday. I finished on NYE morning with my favorite tea cup. ⬇️
pickI love this old little book! Published in 1983, my copy has a medieval woodcut of two women working in the kitchen. This is a delightful page turner full of quotes from many peoplx: cooks, tasters, and eaters, throughout the ages. Any cook will appreciate this book.

At that time those cakes seemed to me to be absolutely the most tempting and desirable things that I have ever seen; and I then and there resolved that, if I ever got free, the height of my ambition would be reached if I could get to the point where I could secure and eat ginger cakes in the way that I saw those ladies doing. —⬇️
There is no question that Rumanian-Jewish food is heavy. One meal is equal in heaviness, I would guess, to eight or nine years of steady mung-bean eating. Following the Rumanian tradition, garlic is used in excess to keep the vampires away; following the Jewish tradition, a dispenser of schmaltz (liquid chicken fat) is kept on the table to give the vampires heartburn if they get through the garlic defense. —Calvin Trillin

There is no sight on earth more appealing than the sight of a woman making dinner for someone she loves. —Thomas Wolfe

Garlic is the catsup of intellectuals. —Unknown
Yes and I put that shit on everything!!! 🧄😍
A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one‘s husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it. —Anne Morrow Lindbergh
•this is so true with many of us who are in any kind of relationship. These breakfasts don‘t happen often, but I cherish them. Homemade cinnamon rolls; biscuits; poached eggs; oats with citrus curd; bacon; fresh raspberries and cream of wheat; applesauce pancakes with boiled🍎cider!
