The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook

by Kate Macdonald and L. M. Montgomery

[Eve1972]

Cute cover on this one. Great representation of the subject matter. Good use of graphics and great composition and title work.

So I actually thought this was a new cook book when I requested it from NetGalley, but alas it appears to be from 1985. Although it does mention inside the cover that This is a revised and expanded edition of The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook published in 1985 by Oxford University Press. So I guess there is some new material here. I have to admit I am not a fan of when NetGalley does this. There should be some mention in the descriptions that this is a reissue or something.



Moving on...I am a HUGE fan of Anne Of Green Gables. I am not sure you can call yourself a Canadian and not be. So you can imagine how excited I was to get my hands on this book. This is a relatively short little book coming in at just over 100 pages. The graphics and photos are beautiful, and the book is broken up into a few different chapters (COOKING TIPS, RECIPES FROM ANNE OF GREEN GABLES, RECIPES FROM ANNE OF AVONLEA, RECIPES FROM ANNE OF WINDY POPLARS, RECIPES FROM L.M. MONTGOMERY’S KITCHEN). The recipes are easy to follow and include quotes from different books in the series. If you are a fan of this series or know someone that is then this would make a great gift. Two thumbs up from yours truly.

Here is just a small sampling of the recipes you will find within...

-- Sunshiny Corn Soufflé
-- Anne’s Liniment Cake
-- Matthew Cuthbert’s Yummy Biscuit Sandwich
-- Old-Fashioned Lemonade
-- Creamy Butterscotch Pudding
