    Five 18th Century Recipes You Can Make During Quarantine to Give Yourself a Tiny Bit of Serotonin

    For those of you who are able to social distance, it might have been a couple of weeks since you last made a grocery run, and you might be getting to the point where you’re running low on supplies.

Rather than pb&j again, or ordering in, why not try making some of these simple dishes from the 18th century with the kitchen staples you already have?

    Pumpkin Chiffon Pie

    “Canal House Cooks Every Day” by Hamilton & Hirsheimer, Andrews McMeel 2012.” Even people who aren’t big pumpkin pie fans will like this genteel version. Light, delicate, and sweet, it is a recipe from a kinder, gentler time. Its very name—“chiffon”—evokes a sheer and floaty fabric, a long way from today’s sturdy Spandex.
