Beatrix Potter's Country Cooking March 24, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I originally bought this book as a gift for a Beatrix Potter fan, but soon realized I had to have a copy for myself. Potter fans and cookbook collectors alike will relish the fine color photos and illustrations as much as the tasty, and very English recipes. How about a nice "Steak, Kidney and Oyster Pudding with a Guiness Gravy"? (page 50). Ms. Williams, the author, also does a fine job with the introduction in which she gives us a synopsis of Beatrix Potter's life, from London to her beloved Lake District where many of the book's recipes were collected. By the way, if you have ever worried about how to deal with such "English" ingredients as "dark treacle", a Glossary of British Terms with American Equivalents is included (dark treacle = molasses). Book length is 176 pages, about 3/4 inch thick, with photos or illustrations on nearly every page - very satisfying for those of us who like our cookbooks to be pretty as well as functional.
