Really, Jamie, your newsletters are like reading chapters of a deeply researched and meticulously edited book. A real treat.

Once again, I feel smarter and refreshed after reading your substack. I often feel myself wishing my dad, the chef, was still around. He had a thick, well worn cookbook that had been published a couple of centuries ago. He frequently pulled recipes from that book for special menus. He would have thoroughly enjoyed your mixture of history with the culinary arts.
