Episode5 The Magic Way to Fall Asleep

Tonight, host Erin Brindley will read The Magic Way. The Magic Way was published by Magic Baking Powder and has a charming preamble before it gets to the recipes, lots of tips on baking cakes, and why Magic Baking Powder is the best baking powder. Really, sometimes you do choose a book by its cover, and this third edition, published in 1924, has the most darling cover, from the typeface to the flapper holding a chocolate cake. We’ll put a picture of it up on the Recipe for Sleep Instagram page, but don’t look at that now…I think you’ll remember tomorrow. Erin also has posted a wonderful recipe for Buttermilk Corn Bread at ThankSalt.Com, inspired by the recipe in this book. For now, turn the lights out, put away anything you were doing, and snuggle deep into your sweet covers. You’ve reached that sweet, quiet time of day where all you have to do is close your eyes and listen to me read you old cookbooks.
