JULEE'S MEMORIES . . .
(a.k.a Wickwood's Chief Cook & Bottle Washer)
Bitter cold day. February 1981.
The Silver Palate "Girls", as they called us much to our chagrin, were
having lunch with a Vogue editor. She asked if we were working on a
cookbook. "Yes!", snuck out of my lips while Sheil kicked my shin under
the table. A bottle of Scotch later we had an outline for our unorthodox
cookbook. A chapter entirely on Asparagus. And then more asparagus
recipes in the Vegetable chapter. Strange, they said. Made perfect
sense, we thought. No photos. instead, line drawings. Everyone said it
wouldn't sell. Our friends and families said our shop would be
out-of-business once we gave away all our recipes.
Memorial Day weekend found me
at a manual Royal typewriter plunked on our lawn (actually, Ute Hagen's
lawn for it was her house we were renting) while it drizzled. I had no
idea how to fill the blank page before me, but with my pals and summer
roommates, Andy and Molly, jeering me about my attempting to write a
cookbook, I wasn’t going inside until the page was filled or until the
lightning struck me, whichever came first. And, honestly, to my
surprise, that blank page made me crazy, I started writing and the ideas
didn't stop. Nights and weekends (I had a business to run during the
day) I wrote until by Labor Day weekend I had a 1556-page stack of
recipes; Sheil's line art, my favorite quotes, menus, entertaining tips,
and lore. Bottom line, we still had no idea how to write a cookbook.
Please,
Tap Into YOUR Memories . . .
The best thing I repeatedly
hear about the SPCB is, "It's like having a friend in the kitchen with
you!" And, over the years, I've met thousands of new cooking pals all
around the world, signed loads of cookbooks held together with rubber
bands, and been feted more times than I'll ever deserve.
So now I'm celebrating in my
own way by asking YOU about your
favorite SP recipe and how you've made it your own. Have you tweaked it
over the years? Perhaps you've served it in a fresh new way? At some
point you didn't have an ingredient and you substituted one of yours for
one of ours. After all, isn't that the fun of cooking . . . putting your
own personality into a recipe?
I'm inviting you
to please share your
story on Wickwood Inn's Facebook page
facebook.com/Thewickwoodinn or by writing to me at Julee Rosso
silverpalatecb@wickwoodinn.com. Make it short and sweet. Show me your sass.
You needn't list ingredient quantities, just creatively describe your
creativity. And we'll all share in the fun.
Celebrate at Wickwood very soon to continue the fun,
and make your own new memories!
