I love these kinds of booklets, they are very entertaining snippets of their time. This one is a real gem, the artwork is fabulous and it is chock full of information on brewing coffee and recipes featuring coffee.
Last night we had guests over for dinner and I decided to make a pie using a recipe from the book. I chose the Coffee Macaroon Pie because I had all the necessary ingredients on hand, and of course it sounded like a tasty pie.
This is the "illustration in the center spread":
And there was even a picture of my reaction to the pie coming out of the oven:
The pie was indeed tasty, although no one could taste the coffee. But it is a super coconut macaroon pie. Only half left in this picture:
My pie turned out much darker on top than the one in the booklet, and it was done in only 40 minutes. A very scrumptious, rich pie--I was 100% happy with the results and will be making more from this recipe in the future. And probably trying other recipes from this booklet which I am thrilled to have found and added to my collection.
