Attractive Menus to Fall Asleep To

At Recipe for Sleep, we find old cookbooks to be a restful place to put our minds as we fall asleep. Not only do we get to peek into the kitchens of the past, but sometimes, like this week, we get to imagine a life completely different from our own. Where our greatest concern is how to create a menu for a fancy breakfast with our friends that does not bore, even without the help of a caterer or a maid. Attractive Menus by Harriet Warner, published in 1916 addresses these and other pressing issues, such as the importance of snow-white linens, matching flower arrangements to your menu, and proper placement of silverware. Let us lull you to sleep with menu ideas for a lovely party.
