This is Recipe for Sleep, a podcast where we dust off very old cookbooks and let them lull us into dreamland. I’m Erin Brindley, a chef and storyteller. Tonight, I’ll be once again reading to you from The American Pastry Cook, published in 1894. I’ll read Jessup Whitehead’s recipes for pies, mostly, with a few ices at the end, if you’re still awake by then. As always with our old friend Jessup, recipes are interspersed with the occasional random opinion or story, which can seem a little out of nowhere, (like the story of the new night cook not knowing to sweeten pumpkin pies and ruining a hotel’s booming pumpkin pie business.) They are what I like about this book so much. Now it’s time to put away anything you were doing, and snuggle deep into your sweet covers and listen to me read you old cookbooks until you fall asleep.
