FANNIE’S LAST SUPPER:  Re-creating One Amazing Meal from Fannie Farmer’s 1896 Cookbook

 

When Kimball and his wife bought a Victorian townhouse in Boston’s South End, he decided to create a twelve-course meal based on Farmer’s famous cookbook.  Two years later, research and prep complete, he filmed the dinner for PBS.  Full of wildly entertaining descriptions of the problems they encountered, along with lots of local history and other interesting bits of information.  A fun and fascinating read.
