This is a well set out book, taking you on a logical journey through English food. Some recipes are treasured and familiar to most already, others less so but you can easily imagine your ancestors delighting in them.

Yet again (for me) another book I can't wait to try recipes from. What a pity Jane Grigson is no longer with us to dispense such useful historical information and sound advice.
