- Good down home cookin
This is a delightful book. If you are in love with Mitford and its people you will love this. You get all their wonderful recipes with snippets of the books they are in. Fantastic. Guaranteed to make you mouth water, and after making a few of these recipes, you will want to re read Mitford all over again.
- A Gift from the Author!
Have you ever loved a book series so much that you hated finishing the last book? Did you feel like you were leaving folks you'd sort of grown attached to?

- Read At the Table
I thoroughly enjoy reading the excerpts from the Mitford books which reference the dish and precede the recipes. I read a few pages at a time while sitting at the breakfast or lunch table; moreover my husband lets me read to him, allowing me to share something of interest to me (the excerpts) and of interest to him (a new recipe). So far I have tried only Andrew's real hot cocoa recipe -- very sweet but delicious. Tonight we will try Velma's chili. This book will make a nice gift for a friend/Mitford... more info
- beautiful book, delicious recipes
This is a really attractive and beautifully written book, much more than a "regular" cookbook. I've tried several of the recipes and they were all perfect. Jan's "Pot of Beans" is a new staple in our house and Puny's Cheesecake was so easy and delicious at our family Christmas party. I highly recommend this book, and get an extra one because you will definitely want to share it as a gift to someone special.
