Perfect summer recipe: Dandelion Soufflé

One of my favorite recipes comes from "Mud Pies and Other Recipes: A Cookbook for Dolls" by Marjorie Winslow (1961). August is reminding me of this precious book I received as a gift when I was still young enough to cook from it. TV be damned; this is an homage to my backyard, play-by-myself-and-imagination times growing up.

"Dandelion Soufflé"

"After the dandelions in your lawn have gone to seed, shake their fluffy tops into an empty frozen pie pan until it is brimming over. Set in a moderate oven that is out of the wind. While it is cooking, seat your doll at a table located in a light breeze. Serve the souffle immediately and just watch it disappear! You will never have leftovers with this dish."
