Tag: Almost Vintage Holidays
Two for one cookies
Actually, there are three cookie recipes here today: a basic butter cookie, an almond spice cookie, and a lemon cookie.
Pine Nut Tassies
Another recipe from a 2003 Gourmet magazine. Instead of an appetizer, I decided to make something sweet—Pine Nut Tassies.
Spicy Tomato Cranberry Preserve
As I started the December segment for my Almost Vintage Holiday theme, I discussed the great Letter from the Editor that Ruth Reichl wrote to introduce the December 2003 edition. She referenced her ten-years-old self and undertaking making a réveillon (French-Canadian Feast) for her family. Even though her Bûche de Noël resembled Stonehenge, her family congratulated her…
Spiced Nuts
I found so many worthy recipes in the December 2003 vintage Gourmet that it was hard to know where to start backing.
Almost Vintage Holidays continued…on to December!
If you recall, dear reader, I am embarking on a holiday theme entitled “Almost Vintage.” I’m scouring through my hoarded Gourmet and Martha Stewart Living magazines from the 90s, 00s and through 2022 (when MSL ceased publication).
