Loved the recipes, writing and illustrations. Can't wait to make Thor cake this November.

The old farmhouse in question was Castle Top Farm, Cromford, Derbyshire. I was brought up on Little Grey Rabbit, Sam Pig, and later "A Traveller in Time" and the delightful reminiscence books about her late-Victorian country childhood. This is not so much a cookery book, though there are plenty of recipes, but another evocation of days gone by. Pauline Baynes's illustrations are delicious.

A delightful combination of recipes mixed with history and autobiography. I loved every page!

Pauline Baynes' VERY beautiful illustrations accompany Alison Uttley's text exquisitely well. This book is as much a recollection of a late nineteenth century country upbringing, as a collection of recipes for the competent cook.

The illustrations are already killing me, and I just grabbed this from the booksale at the library five minutes ago. It's so pretty I want to frame it. And I haven't read a single recipe yet!
