A scrapbook of cuttings and handwritten recipes compiled by Nina Gladys Barker (née Alexander) who was born in the late 1880s and died ca. 1975 and was the wife of Robert Beacroft Barker, merchant and politician in Jamaica. The recipes were probably compiled between 1940 (note that some early recipes were written on the reverse of the letterhead of the "Jamaica Central War Assistance Committee") and 1960. Many are of Jamaican origin. Most are sweet. There are manuscript recipes in other hands but most are in that of Nina Gladys Barker herself. Nina's only child is alluded to in the recipe, "Bruce's birthday cake".
I used this recipe, more or less: www.recipesource.com/soups/soups/16/rec1613.html only I doubled the water, canned tuna and the celery amounts (and the paprika and a dash more salt) and used a can of cream of mushroom because I don't have any cream of celery. I would suggest heating the can of creamed soup in another pot if you can stand the extra washing, in order to avoid the small chunks of cream here and there.

This stuff will change your life.
It keeps quite a while (our last batch was still good 4 months in), and the by-product is tasty, garlic-infused olive oil
noodles with veggies (recipe modified from cookingcute.com Soba Noodles with Tofu and Veggies) and tea marbled egg. i love the sauce on the noodles! something i will definitely do again, and keep in mind for a spring roll dipping sauce.
could not find the package of soba (100% buckwheat) noodles i know i have, so did a substitution with quinoa pasta. because the quinoa was so hard and gritty, i decided to go ahead and sauce the noodles ahead of time, and store them in the fridge that way. made a big difference -- the softened up to a perfect al dente, and really soaked in the flavor.
