Molly – did you visit Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks when you lived in the city?

Lisa – there was nothing unrelated to cooking and memories of cooking. I plan to go back the next time I’m in NY. She also takes phone orders and will check the antiquarian books if you’re looking for something specific.

Vicki – it was wonderful! I don’t know how long she’s had the shop, but I suspect it has been a few decades.

Judith – thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the post. It was fun to visit the shop with friends who like books AND cooking.

I have often thought of planning a bookstore vacation myself. I hope to make it a reality some day when I am retired.

Beth – she made amazing use of the space. Lots and lots of books, but it didn’t feel claustrophobic – great way to break up the walls of books with the linens, etc.

Colleen – you might spot a book or gadget that brings back memories.

Serena – I used to eat olive loaf (with butter!) daily. Another favorite was cream cheese and olives

Kathy – it was fun! Swapna was looking for a crock pot cookbook, and, although Bonnie had lots to choose from, didn’t find one that spoke to her.

zibilee – I think Bonnie may have found the hermits recipe, but I was afraid to assume that was right. However … great news … today’s mail brought a card from my sister — she had tracked down the recipe (she has most of Gram’s cookbooks) and sent it to me. I hope to make them when the weather gets a bit cooler.
