In the book From Julia Child's Kitchen, Julia Child describes how she ate a Caesar's [[Salad|salad]] at Cardini's restaurant when she was a child in 1920s, and some 50 years later she sought out and called Cardini's daughter, in order to discover the original recipe. In this recipe, [[Lettuce|lettuce]] leaves are served whole on the plate, because they are meant to be lifted by the stem and eaten with the fingers. It also calls for coddled [[Eggs|eggs]] and Italian [[Olive oil|olive oil]].
 
Rather than re create the absolute original recipe, I have chosen to go for a composite of many current 'favourite' recipes.
