The Castelar Creche was a home for homeless babies, opened in 1921 at 818 Castelar St. in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. Residents and chefs of L.A contributed recipes, including Delicious Joseph Relish (Joseph Boggia, Chef, The Plaza), Anchovy Baskets (Los Angeles Country Club), Van Nuys Fruit Cocktail (Thomas Cooney, Chef), Cream of Fresh Asparagus, Argenteuil (Louis Hauser, Chef), Clam and Tomato Bisque (Vanity Fair Tea Room), etc. A few spots to covers, else very good.
