The Margaret Fulton Cookbook 10 – Quiche Lorraine

A quiche is an open-faced tart with a savoury custard filling.  It was originally made with bread dough but short pastry has been substituted in modern recipes.

The pastry should be rolled as thinly as possible…there should be a lot of creamy filling on very little pastry.

– Margaret Fulton

Both of these look pretty good.  But I am very fond of a quiche so more is pretty much more for me!!!  But I totally understand why most people would prefer the understated elegance of the modern photo

The Margaret Fulton Cookbook 9- Soufflés

 James BeardAnother classic photo – the vintage version is so busy, cramming both the finished soufflé and the ingredients into the photo.  The modern photo is very understated and the soufflé has a lovely goldeny brown top.  By comparison, the vintage soufflé looks under cooked.
