As for Zeralda marying him, I would have to agree with you on that one. Icky!<br />Your kebabs would be a great hit in my house. We love any type of food on a stick. Great for a summer get together!Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477733502039127636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889046160451485982.post-45964261646122895852013-07-04T02:05:50.447-04:002013-07-04T02:05:50.447-04:00What a fun book!

I think natural color are much better. We could use purple potatoes to make blue mashed potatoes.

I love vintage stuff (and now my childhood faves are officially vintage!) :) It looked to me like there were pineapple rings with cherries atop the "Pompano a la Sarah Bernhardt". I was wondering how you were going to pull that off.Debra Eliotseatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224613659027050135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889046160451485982.post-59084449642116583432013-06-27T07:27:20.380-04:002013-06-27T07:27:20.380-04:00I love that!

The 50s and 60s seemed to be very big for food colouring - Fanny Cradock, one of the early British TV cooks, encouraged people to pipe blue mashed potato onto things to give it colour.
