SHAKESPEARE'S ROMEO & JULIET CAPON CAPULET
I LOVE vintage cookbooks and old community cookbooks. And I picked up ( second hand of course) a great cookbook called " Cooking with Shakespeare" This cookbook is dedicated "To all Shakespeare lovers...and especially to those actors, directors and producers of extraordinary talent and dedication who perpetuate his genius throughout the world.." I have not tried this recipe but it looks so interesting. In this great cookbook, here are recipes ( and quotes, drawings" for each play.

ROMEO AND JULIET (CHEESE AND JAM)
I saw this in a cookbook and it is so simple! It's savory and sweet and great for when you need that little nibble during the day. In the book where I found this they had a cheese listed that I've never heard of. I winged it and used Cheddar. :) I used a 3/4 oz slice of cheese that is reduced calorie(50 per piece) and strawberry preserves.
