Tastes & Treasures II cookbooks delivered to Spicery

We couldn't ask for a warmer welcome than the one we got from Matt Borowski of The Spicery in our 1895 Home in Glendale. Margaret Baker joined Norma Jean Coulter and Ruth McLeod to deliver Tastes & Treasures II cookbooks to Matt. The Spicery is featured on pages 108-113.
He was so excited to see the book, tearing off the protective plastic cover and thumbing through the pages. He enjoyed the photo of his creme puffs, loved the concept of the book and the quality. And he has lots of ideas for marketing his restaurant and the book, including family-style meals reminiscent of the 1950's. A time for families to be talking and sharing their experiences of the day at the dinner table (sans cell phones). His enthusiasm is contagious!
Fortunately, we had a reservation for lunch since people were turned away at the door. The Spicery gets very busy and no wonder . . . the food and service were wonderful.
Whatever you do, don't skip the decadent desserts.

The Spicery Tea Room in Volume II Tastes & Treasures

Glad to have recipes and photos from The Spicery in our 1895 Home in Tastes & Treasures A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona, Volume II. Owner Matt Borowski is passionate about the food and service and history in this charming old town Glendale home.

The menu is delightful while lovely antiques grace the rooms with vintage tea service, laces and linens. A recent visit had Matt showing us his newly remodeled patio. Just waiting for cooler fall weather to plant flowers, pots of ivy, tables and chair with newly designed wrought iron gates and fencing. This patio will indeed be a sought after area to enjoy lunch, dinner and tea and dessert.

Owner Matt Borowski has wonderful plans for this new outdoor seating area.
He is serious about keeping the new patio neat and tidy with his leaf blower.

This fabulous Victorian home is so welcoming and when you smell the delicious aromas coming from the kitchen . . .

Cathy Shumard and Ruth McLeod met with owner Matt Borowski to discuss Tastes & Treasures Volume II, A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona. The 1895 home will make a lovely addition to the new cookbook.

The Glendale restaurant is undergoing a renovation this summer. Built as the Victor Messinger House, Matt has plans for an expanded outdoor patio. Can't wait to enjoy it's charm and also see the recipes Matt provides us!
