review 1: I made the Creamless Steak au Poivre and it was delicious but the Hollandaise Sauce was so salty, it was almost inedible and the Spinach and Feta Salad with Fresh Beetroot was horrid. Feta and beets do not go together. Goat cheese, however, would have been fine.This cookbook is not consistent. I want to believe in it. I want to feel that it is accurate to the time period but frozen orange concentrate? If the flavours had worked I could forgive it but after this crappy salad, I was done. I could not put more money, time and effort into The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook.The cookbook is $16.99 U.S. and $18.99 Canadian according to the back of the book. It is a trade paper paperback book with no photographs. I love unusual cookbooks that you have to bring your creative spi... morerit, as long as there is some sort of payoff. Sadly, the witty introductions to the recipes are just not enough to lure me into the world of the Crawley's kitchen.My experience just did not convince me that I should go out and pick up lobsters for the Lobster Thermidor or make the Filet Mignon with Foie Gras and Truffle Sauce which is a shame because I wanted to. I wanted to believe in this cookbook enough to go out and invest in the ingredients and make these dream-come-true recipes.There is an entertainment factor with this book that I thoroughly enjoyed but I just could not believe in the food.
review 2: I thought that this was the cutest idea ever! I am absolutely in love with the Downton Abbey series on BBC and this just made my life!I especially loved the fact that it includes not only the food that the crawley's would eat but also the food for the working people! I love to amount of thought and authenticity that was put into this cookbook and cannot wait to start chipping away at these recipes. less
