While listing cookbooks today, we came across an old Baker’s Coconut cookbook from 1926. Inside this cookbook was a letter neatly folded inside from Franklin Baker … it is so fascinating to read that we thought we would share it with all of you.
Dear Lady,
I am hoping you will find our book of Baker’s Coconut Recipes that most inspiring collection of Poems that has ever graced your kitchen library.
What’s Keats or Kipling compared to Ambrosia Southern Style on Page 9? And what’s Eddie Giresh or Bobbie Burns, even, compared to Tropical Gingerbread on Page 5?
I can’t think of any more poetic sight than a girl .. be she sixteen or sixty … stirring up a Delightful Dessert in her own sunny kitchen with, I hope, geraniums at the windows.
Yours for a Coconut treat,
Franklin Baker
