This is Recipe for Sleep, a podcast where we dust off very old cookbooks and let them lull us into dreamland. Happy 2025, I’m so glad to be back in your ears after a short break for the holidays. I’m Erin Brindley, a chef and storyteller. If you’re new to the podcast, I read old cookbooks, mostly from the late 1800s and early 1900s, softly and sweetly until you fall asleep. I launched this drowsy little project in 2024, weekly, but in fits and starts.
We’re changing things a bit for 2025…we’ll have a new episode out every other Wednesday evening. This will give me more time to get more of my own recipes up on ThankSalt.com, and I’m brewing up another sleepy idea you’ll hear more about soon.
Meanwhile, I’m so excited to start this year with the humble and delightful Bread Making and Bread Baking by Minnie E. Brothers from 1915. This cookbook is perfect to fall asleep to…there are so many wonderful basic tips for baking, all perfectly practical for the home cook, cozy, and unsurprising. She moves on to savory things, but I think tonight we’ll just get through her baking section. I feel like it’s been a bit since we just listened to baking recipes, and I find them the most soothing.
Here's the original text, which has some totally delightful graphics I encourage you to peek at when you’re not trying to sleep. For now, snuggle into your sweet covers and let the recipes of Minne E. Brothers send you to your dreams.
