from Miss Ella's
Fernandina Flavors Cooking Collection
Matriarch Ella Dunnigan concocts, creates, gathers and is responsible for foods served on the fictional Dunnigan family Aqua Verdi Passenger Line ships in the 1880s. A little bit of make believe plus a whole lot of real good taste result in these delightful dishes still served in modern times. (For your convenience, recipes are generally written in today's amounts and measurements.)
