• Miss Beecher’s Strawberry Ice Cream – 1858

  

  This strawberry ice cream is one of the best I have ever tasted – it’s creamy with a rich berry flavour. I paired it with Angel Food Cake as a summer dessert treat.

• Karn’s Pastry – 1903

  

  This is a light and buttery pie crust, perfect for berry pies of all sorts as it stays surprisingly crisp on the base.

• Mrs. Willson’s Salad Dressing – early 1900’s

  

  Why make your own salad dressings? Because they are healthier, and simply taste far better than store-bought. This one is delicious, requires just a little bit of cooking, and goes beautifully with a Waldorf Salad, as a dressing for coleslaw, or can stand on it’s own as a veggie dip.

• Creamy Cabbage Salad – 1903

  

  Coleslaw is a summer favourite of mine, and this cabbage salad is sweet and delicate with a light and airy texture. This is great for those looking for a mayo-free alternative, and the lemon gives this a beautiful flavour.

• Hail-Storm Julep – 1876

  

  A refreshing summer cocktail, this ‘hail-storm’ julep is a simple one that will hit the spot on a hot day (and is a great way to use up all of that fresh mint from the garden).
