My ancestral cookbook's section on Food for the Sick includes the suggestion of fricasseed brains in white sauce. (Recipe not included, though there are recipes for Brains Stewed, Brain Pie, and Brain Cakes.)

Personally, I think fricasseed brains - with or without white sauce - are most useful in the sickroom as a diagnostic tool.

If the invalid, on being presented with the dish, suddenly recovers: you've got a hypochondriac on your hands - or did until very recently.

If they turn their face to the wall with a hollow groan: you've got yourself a genuine sufferer.

And if the patient wolfs down the dish: well, that there is a zombie. Who else would be keen on brains?

Just don't ask about the curry recipe. That's a real horror story.

Making carrot and coriander soup as part of #Easter dinner. You can tell it is an #English #cookbook by the shameful amount of #garlic. In this household garlic is a vegetable, not a spice. Or as @steggy likes to say “measure garlic with your heart, not with a spoon”

"Hélène Jawhara Piñer understands that at first mention, a #cookbook about #matzah and flour might not grab the imagination. After all, she said, matzah has a long-held reputation as the “squared, crunchy, untasty” food we eat on #Passover.

But Piñer is an academic who has studied medieval #Jewish #food culture in #Spain and #France, and she accepted the challenge of winning over matzah skeptics by writing a #historical cookbook about it.

“Most people don’t know how matzah can be so exciting,” she said.

A completely free cookbook for the zero spoons crowd.

Life is hard. Some days are at the absolute limit of what we can manage. Some days are worse than that. Eating — picking a meal, making it, putting it into your facehole — can feel like an insurmountable challenge. We wrote this cookbook to share our coping strategies. It has recipes to make when you've worked a 16-hour day, when you can't stop crying and you don't know why, when you accidentally woke up an Eldritch abomination at the bottom of the ocean. But most of all, this cookbook exists to help Sad Bastards like us feel a little less alone at mealtimes.

A 13th-century Scandinavian cookbook: Libellus de arte coquinaria https://www.medievalists.net/2020/11/13th-century-scandinavian-cookbook/ #Cookbook #food #history

We have discovered a little treasure from @steggy ‘s mom’s library. The “Radiation Cookery Book” from 1936.

It’s none of the cool things you might hope for like
- Cooking with Uranium
- Cooking using your radiators in the Great Depression.

It appears to have been published by a consortium of gas stove manufacturers.

Cap'n Crunch Candy
For anyone seeking an escapist sugar coma, here's a #recipe from my hometown. I recommend you use Crunch Berries instead of Peanut Butter, and pecans instead of peanuts.
The cookbook was published in 1993 to raise money for the William Budd Elementary School library in Fairmont, #Minnesota.

I’m trying to write a #cookbook for #ADHD and #ND folk. If you have ADHD and find #cooking with traditional #recipes difficult, I’d love to chat to you about why that is and what would make it better. I have ideas, but maybe I’m missing some things, too.

Gervase Markham was in his time a best selling author, his #book The English Huswife was published in 1615. It was a best seller going through 9 editions, and at least two other reprints. It was a cookbook/home remedies book.
For pissing the bed.
For them who cannot hold their water in the night: take a kid’s hoof and dry it and beat it to a powder, and give it to the patient to drink, either in beer or ale four or five times.
