“In the morning at 7! Adored my presents. One of them was Venetian Curaçao; another was from Mrs. Hope Kirk Wilson—a real Scotch cake. I am eating and drinking like mad, for I love both!...”
Isabella Stewart Gardner in a letter to Bernard Berenson, December 26th, 1908
A little known fact about Isabella Stewart Gardner is that art collector and Museum founder was a foodie! The Museum's collection holds Gardner's recipe book, considered to be the most impressive and personal of her food-related possessions. The recipe book includes instructions for making lady fingers, after-dinner coffee, cakes, and glazes. When the Museum opened on the evening of New Year's Day in 1908, Gardner served the festivity's attendees one of her favorite treats: donuts.
