celebrates an icon
For my undergraduate thesis at Bard, I wrote about autobiography and memory in The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook. I concluded by hosting a banquet of Alice's best recipes.
Included
were French and California wines, I read from my thesis, Alice’s quotes
surrounded us as a shrine, and séance summoning her was led by my roommate.
Somehow there was wine left over but the food vanished quickly. Read my essay on Alice B. Toklas ︎︎︎

All of these recipes can be found in the cookbook. I highly suggest any and all of them, especially the mushroom sandwiches, they were Alice's specialty.
