“I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cooking wholesome food and likes to look after the pennies”
“This recipe book takes me back in time to some of the lovely food my dear mother used to cook me when I was a child.”
Lilly Longman’s original 100 year old recipe book (pictured left) contains over 200 traditional Edwardian and Victorian recipes hand written by Lilly when she worked as a scullery maid for a family of extended Royals in London.
It has been translated into modern day English and the result is a recipe book with no modern, expensive, fancy recipes, just good wholesome English economic family food - as enjoyed in bygone years and probably fondly remembered by your parents.
Simple to prepare, time saving in preparation and very easy to follow recipes.
One of the best presents for any family member
Every recipe includes:
- A scan of the hand-written recipe penned by Lilly Longman click HERE to view a sample
- Modern day translation of the ingredients and method
- A photograph of the dish as prepared by Alan Smith who restored the book (he is pictured bottom left)
The result is an opportunity for you to recreate simple, wholesome Victorian and Edwardian recipes using original recipes recorded up to 100 years ago by a cook who prepared food for nobility.
Cooking good food from the old days on a budget as it used to be then (even for the Gentry!)
