Because we're talking about vintage food this week I wanted to share a little something extra with you. There's a TV show that started in Britain and has gone around the world that's all about vintage food. It's called Back in Time for Dinner and in Australia it was the Ferrone family who voluntered to spend a week in a different era and cook only with the recipes, technology and social norms of the time. Carol Feronne reflected on the experience.

Hands up if you love food! Ok, now that one hand is raised keep it up if you've ever experimented with recipes from an earlier era. I'm talking 60's dinner parties, aspic salads, tiered potato salads (yeah really)! Michelle Ferrand is the brains behind Cup of Zest and she is all about bringing vintage recipes back to life!
