It’s fascinating to read cookbooks of other eras, and see what still seems current and what seems unappealingly out-of-date. Eating habits really do change over time.

That book sounds like a great find, and this soup seems particularly elegant — just what you’d expect of a Vogue recipe.

Found you by way of the kitchen at apartment therapy. This looks great and simple. I’ll do anything to not turn my stove on in my (unairconditioned) apartment in the summer!

The soup looks delicious, good work on recreating what looked like an impossible recipe to follow.

That sounds like the most heavenly summer soup. And so elegant. I love old numbers of Vogue. that book must be a lot of fun.

it is exactly what you think it is pam! there’s so many varities of wonderful basil out there.
right now, on my windowsill, i’m growing genovese basil, purple opal and lime basil.

What is lemon basil? (is it obvious?) I’ve never heard of that!
