aka Angela Johnson from San Antonio, United States. Wizzley author for 13 years. 100%

I love learning how people in the past lived and how they prepared food, but sure am glad to have modern conveniences! I’ve been blogging for years writing about my travels, observations about nature, and my childhood. But I’ve now settled on writing about foods and how they were prepared and cooked in the 1800s; the days before gas and electricity was available in homes. BLOG: Vintage Recipes and Cookery https://VintageRecipesandCookery.com In addition to my blog, I compile cookbooks on 1800s recipes and cooking advice. https://vintagerecipesandcookery.com/books-by-angela-johnson/
