As I write my 1,000th column, I am reminded of the most wonderful bites/tastes I have experienced. This recipe for gougères is the perfect one to celebrate, and it was included in a fun new book—“Retro Recipes” by Bobby Hicks—that landed on my desk recently.

Imagine other dishes like vinegar pie, tomato aspic, biscuits, chicken divan, and those famous Jello salads from long ago. “Retro Recipes: Vintage Dishes with a Modern Twist” is a modern cook’s love letter to the past.
