'The Idea in compiling this little book is to place on record several hundred of our ancestors most typical recipes for eating and drinking. Some can only be looked upon as of historical interest, while many, with slight modification, can be used today.' - These recipes have been collected through the generosity of members of the Womens Institutes, in England and Wales, from their family records. At the present time such recipes are in danger of being lost owing to the passing of so many country houses as the centres of family life.' Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
