BIDDESDEN COOKERY - English Country Cooking

From the DJ flap:

  

As Mirabel Guinness points out in her introduction, there are often at least twenty people to lunch at Biddesden.   This is not surprising with such a large family; she is the youngest of nine brothers and sisters who have all grown up there, the home which her father Bryan Guinness, Lord Moyne, bought in the early 1930’s.

The recipes in this charmingly illustrated book show how the whole household is involved in cooking:  side by side with those left by the cooks who have run the kitchen - Mrs Green’s “Floating Island”, Mr. Olley’s Ginger Cake - are recipes introduced by the family.  They vary from amateur to professional, reflecting Biddesden life from nursery tea to dinner party.  This book shows how best to enjoy the familiar ingredients of English country cooking.
