You see, I loved the attic better than any room in the old house in the South where I was raised. Evidently, my great-grandmother had the same fondness for it. She hoarded valuables in that attic. Her recipes, in a hand-written cookbook, which I found in the attic, began my hobby for collecting formulas for cookies and small cakes.
The interesting information she had written about the cakes was the inspiration for writing a book. The collector's demand for nothing but the authentic grew in me as the years passed. No formula went into my collection unless it was the best of its kind.
Gradually, I began looking to other lands to satisfy my desire for new and unusual recipes. I found them in out of the way places, in cottages, in manor houses, and in castles.
Now I am presenting them to you, with the hope that you may find as much pleasure in using them as I have found in collecting them and writing the book!
