Adventures In Flavor

This booklet got a lot of love. Before I smoothed it out in Photoshop, there were folds, notes, food spills, the works. That's probably a sign that at least some of the recipes were worth it. Well done, Crown Colony. Well done. Front and back covers, plus the first two pages of a booklet published by Charter Products Company, San Francisco, California. This series of pages was originally posted to flickr on June 23rd, 2011.
