review 1: A delightful read on a rainy afternoon while your own delicious dinner is cooking away. It will make you grateful not to be in Mrs. Patmore's shoes preparing all those courses! To give you an idea of the book's range, it includes the simplicity of Noisette Potatoes to savory and sweet treats for an afternoon tea. And, covers 8+ courses showcasing different dishes within each course. Enjoyed perusing the etiquette lessons rarely seen and long forgotten. If you are a scratch cook, the base ingredients are common, tried and true. Bubble and Squeak, the English do have a way with recipe names.
review 2: I won this from a goodreads First Reads giveaway! I like it! The recipes are organized by courses and each recipe has a sweet little blurb/anecdote to go along with... more it such as telling us that the Traditional Bakewell Tart would be served to both the nobility as well as the servants since it is a traditional dessert. Some of the recipes have an additional little paragraph with a bit of history/legend regarding the food item. There are no high gloss pictures of foods prepared; rather, this is a gathering of dishes appropriate to the era of Downton Abbey, the Crawleys, and their servants. I cannot wait to try out some of the recipes for myself and perhaps get a little lost in fantasyland of pretending I'm eating with Mrs Patmore or Lady Mary! less
