searching for a recipe from a Williams Sonoma catalog

In the late 1970's Williams Sonoma offered a recipe in their mailorder catalog for a veal and oregano stew. Anyone out there have a copy?

Not sure if you can find it here. But they post a lot of them http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/index.cfm?cm_type=lnav

Williams Sonoma "claims" that their data base does not extend back that far. Their current Web Site offers only recent recipes.

As a seasonal employee of W-S, I have to take exception to the quotes around "claims". Do you think that if they had the recipe, they would deliberately withhold it from you? Why?

W-S has always been very open and accomodating as far as I'm concerned. Maybe they actually don't have it. I would recommend that you post at uncle phaedrus before you start dissing a good company.

Well, I can honestly say that I have lost lots of things since the 70s. So, it is entirely possible. Maybe consider writing Chuck Williams himself. Back in the day, he ran the company and its marketing efforts day to day. Perhaps he has in in his personal recipes. I understand that, at 93, he still works frequently at the company's headquarters in San Francisco.

On another I would love to fiond a recipe for a chocolate trifle that was in a Bon Appetit issue in the early 90s. Unfortunately, the Epicurious database doesn't extend back that far.
