This past Friday, I did my fourth Favorite meal for Blake Van Roekel of Good Keuken and her Grandmother, Mary Alice (or Grammy as she is most endearingly known). I brought along my friend and fellow blogger, Abby to help me document the meal. Abby’s photography is the perfect aesthetic for how I envisioned this experience documented; soft, nostalgic, and beautiful. She uses all film and a variety of antique cameras to give the pictures she takes her preferred look. I am eagerly awaiting her photos, I (as well as you!) should be seeing them soon! But I also took a few pictures with my little digital camera. I thought it would be a nice preview to see some images as well as be a nice contrast to what her photos will look like.

(The table setting (done by Mary Alice, infiltrated by me) was gorgeous!)
(a recipe for Sorgum or Depression Cake from the 1930’s, in a cookbook Mary Alice has)
(the nested sandwhiches and deviled eggs, the meal had a wholesome 1950’s-esk and springtime feel to it)
Blake and Grammy’s story + recipes will be coming soon!
