I've been reading a lot on "Depression Era Cooking"..........lots of ideas that one would not even think of, yet a good source of knowledge for times when something unforeseen takes the food budget and we are staring at empty cupboards.....
I will be sharing some recipes we can assemble .......
these are the recipes we want to print off and keep in a folder just in case.
This video is "Clara" she is 94 and recounts some of her Depression memories and shares her recipe for "Panecotto" (Baked Bread) I must admit I have fallen in love with Clara and have ordered her book. I did try this recipe with an old Bagette that I kept for this reason. I was as hard as a bat. I'm not kidding-----it was rock solid hard! And............to my surprise..............it tasted good. Crunchy and soft. Loved the flavor!
I could see a few bacon bits and some cheese......anything that happens to be around at the time.
sooooooo............don't be dumpin' the Bread anymore
"a penny saved is a penny earned"
I will file these recipes on the blog under "Depression cooking"
don't forget to check out all the other recipes and information on the blog..............
enjoy! deb
PS....don't you just want to squeeze her?
