Historic Recipes in Your Inbox

LauraschenoneEvery month, writer Laura Schenone, author of A Thousand Years Over a Hot Stove: A History of American Women Told through Food, Recipes, and Remembrances, sends out a historic recipe to subscribers to her mailing list, the Not To Be Forgotten Recipe Project. Previous emails have included a 150-year-old recipe for rhubarb jam, an 18th century recipe for "Bride Cake," and an 1824 recipe for Gazpacho. Each recipe arrives with details on the history of the dish, commentary, and instructions for preparation in a modern kitchen.

Ms. Schenone will be speaking about her book at an upcoming event presented by the Culinary Historians of New York, Tuesday, November 9, at the Park Avenue Methodist Church.

I am really glad to see this kind of thing happening. I am a Japanese cook who is in the process of corralating information on Japanese food.

Are there any other sites in this vein?

The Tokyo Food Page (bento.com), has a nice list of links to online Japanese food resources:
