This is a wonderful read.

One cookbook from 1878 explains “how to make Victoria pudding in southern India at the height of the Raj. (It turns out to be easy enough: hand the recipe to your butler, who can hand it to your cook.)”

A great read as always.

“The problem isn’t that the free market can’t deliver the number of new homes we need; it’s that we haven’t even let it try.”
