Sue's Diner: Beef Stewed with Apples

This week's recipe is from the nineteenth century and was adapted from Miss Beecher’s domestic receiptbook: designed as a supplement to her Treatise on domestic economy.

Our version of Beef Stewed with Apples also appears in the BryonySeries cookbook: Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," which is a permament fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties.

The recipe is referenced in the novel Bryonywhere it's served cold at a picnic that the book's protagonist, a 1970s teen named Melissa Marchellis, attends in the nineteenth century with pianist/composer/vampire John Simons.

You can try our modified recipe on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website. It can be served hot or cold.

But try the recipe this week. It will be gone some time 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?).
