Bonnie Slotnick expressed excitement over discovering rare culinary books in the late Mimi Sheraton's collection, particularly an 18th-century handwritten British household cookbook with unique recipes.
Discussing the significance of an eighteenth-century manuscript, Slotnick noted its historical context, highlighting recipes like mock turtle and a surprising measurement for "gay powders".
Slotnick emphasized the rarity of the items at Sheraton's home, particularly an olive-oil treatise in Italian, showcasing her expertise in rare and antiquarian cookbooks.
