Katherine’s Trial (1873)

Author Pamela Rosinia shares her ideas (and recipes!) for continuing to cook despite waning physical skills. The suggestions she offers may surprise the reader but her recipes are tried and true winners. Each recipe page lists ingredients and easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Some of the recipes are personal family favorites. Many are new. Others reflect the influence of travel. She encourages cooks to adapt her recipes to their own tastes while making her case for liberal use of spices and ongoing experimentation.
