THE GOOD FARE AND CHEER OF OLD ENGLAND

by Joan Parry Dutton ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

If you had a semi-English upbringing -- or even an English grandmother with a flare for food -- this will be a nostalgic book which brings back many a pleasant memory. And if you love England and have learned for yourself that her food is not as unpalatable as it is rumored, you will enjoy this for the quality of re-experiencing the English countryside, the glimpses of the best of English inns, and learning the stories behind the traditional English dishes. Much of the material is based on home kitchens, much on pre-World War I abundance of provisions, but Mrs. Dutton reports that England is reclaiming her right to good fare and cheer. The cheese, the fish and game, the puddings and mince pies, the roasts and Yorkshire pudding -- all are here, and there are recipes which fill in the gaps in other cookbooks. This for the travel and regional flavor experts, with some side market among specialty cookbook collectors.
