For the benefit of our members who eat food,
the Basin Street Regulars Nutritional Staff presents
An electronic library of good eatin' that came along
during the Jazz Age, which is still in effect in
Pismo Beach and several other choice locations.
Original source for many of the recipes was a tattered, yellowing old book about New Orleans cooking, dated c.1920, found many years ago in a Lafayette, Louisiana, thrift shop. They became the basis of a planned cook book that never was and should have been.
When word got out about a book of recipes that related in some way to traditional jazz, they began showing up as contributions from some of K. O. Eckland's and Dr. Whoopee Zeckendorf's precious few friends from over the past half-century — some of the names you might recognize.
Of course, not all recipes have been tested on lab rats or live musicians, so we're not responsible for gastronomic upheavals, dissolutions of marriage, or kitchen fires, but they all sure smell good from here. We also welcome your own secret recipe to this mélange to share with a jazz- and food-starved audience. Email it to Burp, and we'll run it through a lab rat or nearby musician.
