Housewifery Secrets from the Past


Jimmy Bannos, of Heaven on 7 fame (and my favorite chef), made a cajun turkey on the Today Show today. The lady hosts horrified about the amount of butter for massaging into skin and cavity (6lbs!). But Jimmy did reveal the secret for getting that great brown look that we only see on the covers of magazines. Kitchen Bouquet. Old brand secrets of our grandmothers like Bar Keepers Friend, Naptha, 20 Muleteam Borax, Kirk's Castile soap. Now add KB to the pantheon of old housewifery brands right for today.

KB is also a must-have in most food stylists kits. That magical dark brown liquid has brought many a tasty dish to life under the photographer's lights.
