Miss Read's Country Cooking

Attractively illustrated with more than one hundred charming pen and ink drawings, Miss Read's Country Cooking is noteworthy not only for its varied content, but also for its organization and utility. For example, Miss Read has thoughtfully listed the American equivalents of the English measures she uses in her book, and has neatly divided it into the four seasons. But whatever the season, you will find Miss Read's selection and presentation of international recipes both heart warming and mouth watering, both down home and exotic, from Cod Cutlets in Cider to Moussaka, from Lemon Curd to Idiot Biscuits, from Kedgereee to Pork and Peach Kebab, from Halibut au Gratin to a Proper Fish Pie, from Noisettes of Lamb to Crème Brulee. Delicious concoctions for every palate from the hand of a master.
