Celebrate Fair Trade month by trying NatureSweet Cherubs, and read more about NatureSweet's Fair Trade practices at naturesweet.yt.link/S9iRiac.

James Beard's American Cookery cookbook has some pretty strange sounding cakes in it (at least to me!). I opened the book and the first page I look at: Tomato Soup Cake.....ok. The next page was Mayonnaise Cake.....
I must make them both. Game on.
