I think 1983 is considered vintage, right?
I picked up this cookbook the other day. I loved the cover, imagine cooking in a kitchen like that. I think I would really love it. Would you? Turns out Westchester County is in NY, just outside of NYC. While I was perusing the cookbook and saw an entry from someone from SCARSDALE! I immediately laughed and thought about my dear friend RACHEL. If your a friends watcher you have heard the argument between Rachel and Ross and moving to Scarsdale. I honestly thought scarsdale was a place made up for the show but it’s NOT So that is why I am posting this recipe; soley because it’s from Scarsdale and well it looked good too!
