I can't stop turning the pages of this beautiful book by the fascinating Merle Armitage. It's filled with so many interesting recipes (including about a dozen ways to cook kidneys). Some are clearly absurd, but I find a lot of them very enticing.
Leafing through the recipes by famous folk, I was very taken by these from Aline Bernstein (the costume designer). Never seen anything quite like them.
