Readings for Insomnia: Cookery Books
Various
Read by Verla Viera
Pursue the snooze with excerpts from this vintage collection of books full of recipes, culinary tips, and general advice for the kitchen. Many recipes from a hundred or more years ago don’t exactly fit into our definition of “yummy” today, but in case you’re afraid the readings will make you hungry, I promise to read in a soft, soothing voice, with the aim of making you fall asleep before you can get up for a midnight snack. - Summary by Verla Viera
