Sussex Recipe Book (with a Few Excursions Into Kent)
ISBN: 9781870962216 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. M.K. Samuelson, realising that there was no collection of Sussex recipes, set about making her own. This was first published in 1937 but World War II prevented a reprint.

Many of the mouth-watering dishes in this collection go back to the early 18th century and even earlier. In addition to the recipes, the book includes an introduction by contemporary food...
