From our extensive files of vintage and reader recommended recipes, we test and adapt selected choices for online publication.
Our editors then compile inviting menus, and recommend wines for a range of budgets and differing tastes.
We invite you to share your own family recipes for our consideration. We also would appreciate knowing about commercially available wines you have discovered for specific menu pairings.
Food has a special ability to bring people together. We often find this in our own experience, and I hope you will find that this online community feels just as welcoming as a real kitchen. For us, cooking together builds the best communities, let's get cooking together!
We have been cooking for a long time, but that doesn't mean that you need a ton of cooking experience to follow our recipes. We work to make our recipes interesting for advanced cooks but still accessible for beginners. If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask by sending a message or emailing a comment.
Our initial inspiration for collecting and adapting recipes began in 2007, when the late Mariquita "Qui Qui" Westinghouse gave me her annotated copy of Mrs. Beeton's All About Cookery. Mrs. Westinghouse, the widow of George Thomas Westinghouse, (grandson of the electrical industry pioneer), gave me an additional two treasured cookbooks from her vast library. She admonished me to adapt her favorite recipes for today's home cook. This website is dedicated to Qui Qui and her passion for cookery.
Since then, I have resurrected the cookbooks and personal notations of my grandmother, Marion Warren Harrington, dated from 1910 through 1917. These books covered my grandmother's education in Massachusetts, and at Columbia University in New York City. As my grandmother died at my father's birth, her sister Esther Warren Goodrich became my surrogate grandmother. She always set a formal table, and her monthly Sunday dinners were always memorable in my younger years.
Finally, I want to acknowledge the cooking inspiration of another grandmother, Ruth Whitney Mansfield, who taught me her cooking skills when I was a youngster. My grandmother's brother, my Uncle Frank, was head of The Phenix Cheese Company headquartered in New York State. My grandfather worked for his brother-in-law as New England Sales Representative. Cheese and dairy products were important elements in our family's cooking. Great Uncle Frank ultimately sold the Phenix Cheese Company to Kraft Cheese (National Dairy Products), which resulted him becoming President of Kraft. The sale gave Kraft two of Phenix's most popular products: Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Velveeta.
