Episode 17: Sleepy Sweet Recipes from 1900

Recipe for Sleep – A Sleepcast is a cozy place to put your thoughts when it’s time for your mind to rest. We’ve got a library full of very old cookbooks, 1850-1925, at our fingertips and we’re going to read each one to you, sweetly and slowly, one recipe at a time. Recipes are simultaneously full of beautiful imagery, (particularly for those of us who thrill in delicious food,) and soothingly dull. Host Erin Brindley’s gentle narration and the nostalgic allure of Victorian simplicity create a calming atmosphere that eases you into a restful sleep. A perfect way to quiet down your busy mind as sleep rises. Please use this podcast as a sleep podcast, or meditation podcast.

 

This week we read from the May and June Chapters of 365 Desserts: A Dessert for Every Day of the Year. The original text is here: 365 Desserts
