June Platt's New England Cook Book
"JUNE PLATT'S NEW ENGLAND COOK BOOK"
1971
Platt consulted over 600 cookbooks to create this personal collection of recipes celebrating the region and foods of New England. The most interesting recipes include some regional lore and discuss the recipe origin. Recipe names like Rinktum Ditty, Cranberry Troll Cream and Humpty Does seem to belong in a fairy tale. And of course there are chowders, baked beans and pumpkin pies along with "Miss Folsom's Land-of-the-Sky Pudding" and a Cape Cod dish known as "Scootin'-'Long-the-Shore". Yep.
Since August is blueberry month and the latest research shows that blueberries can fend off a variety of age related diseases, I have posted the recipe for "Blueberry Buckle". The 12 blueberry recipes presented by Platt include this "buckle" as well as blueberry crisps, tarts, jams, sauces and "Blueberry Slump". Yep.
