Sue's Diner: Chicken Salad and Crackers

This week's recipe was mentioned in the first book in the "drop of blood" trilogy: Bryony.

In chapter twenty-one John apologized to Melissa for his coldness by scheduling a large garden party where she could play gracious hostess. One of the items served was chicken salad with crackers. 

Our recipe is adapted from one that appeared in the nineteenth century cookbook Miss Beecher’s domestic receiptbook: designed as a supplement to her Treatise on domestic economy.

Try the recipe on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website.

But try the recipe this week. It will be gone next week. A new recipe will take it's place. 

By the way, Sue's Diner is only real in the BryonySeries world. But didn't Timothy do a great job making the page look like a real menu at a vintage diner?

Here is the full diner page: bryonyseries.com/sue-s-diner. You can't really order, of course (wouldn't it be great if you could?).

This chicken salad and homemade crackers recipe also appears in the BryonySeries cookbook Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," which is a permanent fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties.
