I’m currently reading a reproduction of “La Cuisine Creole,” by Lacadio Hearn published in 1885. I find the recipes fascinating and a great insight into that time period. It also had this little “gem” in the first chapter:
Sexual assault survivor, cancer survivor, liver transplant recipient. Diagnosed Schizoaffective Disorder. Uses Zen Buddhism, poetry, essay writing, ancient history, literature, myth, folklore & researching food culture.
