This book is a revelation to Americans who have never tasted real Cornish
Pasties, Scotch Woodcock (a splendid version of scrambled eggs) or Brown
Bread Ice Cream. From the sumptuous breakfasts that made England famous
to the steamed puddings, trifles, meringues and syllabubs that are still
renowned, no aspect of British cooking is overlooked. Soups, fish, meat
and game, vegetables, sauces, high teas, scones, crumpets, hot cross buns,
savories, preserves and sweets of all kinds are here in clear, precise
recipes with ingredients and utensils translated into American terms.
