Lost Dessert Recipes

Friday, December 28, 2007

    What ever happened to Nesselrode Pie? In my childhood, you could easily get it at Krum's in the Bronx and Sutter's there and in Greenwich Village. Heck, you could easily get it anywhere that catered to New Yorkers (here and in Miami) during the war--when restaurant food did not require ration coupons!
