English food's less than lustrous reputation...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
...Appears to be undeserved! There are hordes of mouthwatering wholesome, farmer's market-ready recipes in here. I am only giving it four stars because it doesn't have pictures of them, and a huge number of them aren't suitable for vegetarians (of which I'm one). On the other hand, it does have lots of random, old-timey engravings and woodcuts of food-related miscellany scattered among its copious pages. Better, it contains a homey, grandmum-style recipe for just about any traditional British food that could possibly be worth eating. It's huge. It goes on forever (nearly 450 pages). It helped me learn how to make a real Irish carrot stew, and has an entire chapter (the thirteenth, ironically enough) of traditional liquors you can make at home including wassail and Irish stout (yes, I'm of Irish descent). There are four chapters dedicated to various types of sweets, and the bread section is mind-boggling. Ditto the preserves. I think this would be a treasured and well-used reference for any traditional food-lover, especially one who happens to be an anglophile. Begging your pardon, but I believe I'm beginning to drool. I must pop out for a bite. Cheerio, then!
