A good recipe book. Being a gardener and an apple enthusiast, I enjoyed recipes for all things apple. From starters to drinks and everything in between. I want to try the pork and cider stew, and since our weather has cooled off I might make it this Friday.

I love apples, so was thrilled to see this book at my local library. However, I didn't realize this was a British cookbook. The problem with that is trying to figure out the cooking times. IE: Preheat a fan oven to 160 C/320 F/Gas 4. For one thing, what is a fan oven? Is that the same as a convection oven?And US ovens don't have a setting for 320F. Should I go down to 300 or up to 350? Other than that, I enjoyed all the recipes.

This book is full of excellent recipes and it's a definite keeper. I recommend this to any cook! This book would be a great addition to any cookbook library.
Many of the recipes are written in weights, which may be a non-starter for some of you.

I really enjoyed the first part of the book with some history of the apple and the author’s family cider farm. I didn’t find many recipes after that which piqued my interest, however.
