Above is an example of one of my favorite cookbooks! Why, you say? It was passed down from my mom, and I have fond memories of her using some of the recipes! The book dates back to 1974, a time in my parent's life that they loved to entertain and experiment with new flavors. A time when Julia Child's french cuisine was popular!
I added a few more fresh vegetables in substitution, and didn't even notice the lack of mushrooms!
Recipe also instructs to use an electric...once again I took liberties and used a stove top wok!
Served with brown rice, the final product was amazing!!
So don't pass up those vintage cookbooks...they not only hold recipes that stand today, but also rekindle happy memories and give us glimpses into the past!!
