         Hello again everybody! I'm back again with the book review I mentioned. I have been busy today so I'm getting all this stuff posted later than I thought I would. So here we go!            Title: The Last Dinner On The Titanic: Menus and Recipes From The Great Ocean Liner  Authors: Rick Archbold & Dana McCauley  Genre: Cookbook Pages: 144 Rating: 3 stars           Synopsis: A cookbook designed to recreate the atmosphere of dining on the famous, doomed luxury liner .

        Hello friends! It's been awhile but I'm finally doing another I try food from books segment . I bet you all thought there wasn't going to be another one ! Turns out it was just that it took the book awhile to get to my library. This one is a double segment because I decided to review two dishes.                                     These dishes came from the book Last Dinner On The Titanic: Menus and Recipes From The Great Liner by Rick Archbold and Dana McCauley.

After that I make a post about it and give you guys the recipe and review how it turned out.         So with all that being said over the weekend I made the first recipe .

I just used a steak. 19 pinches (1 tsp salt) 1 tbsp lard or other animal fat 1/4 cup wild onion or two green onions 1 tsp wild garlic or 1 clove regular garlic minced 1 cup porcini or chanterel...
