"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This collection was "suggested" by foods mentioned in and pictures taken from the works of Beatrix Potter. Thus, among the 21 recipes are a good deal of tea-party fare, some porridges, four puddings (Hunca Munca's Rice Pudding, Tabitha Twitchit's Roly-Poly Pudding) and, of course, Peter Rabbit's salad. The recipes are clearly presented, with utensils in boldface, but as Emerson warns in her preface, the stove and knife work might be best accomplished by an adult. And in the recipes presented, there is workbeating egg whites and piping whipped cream, shredding cabbage and cutting lard into flour to make pastry. The British practice of designating ingredients by weight rather than by volume means a kitchen scale or a good translator is essential. Still, for those under the spell of the Peter Rabbit books, it's a fetching selection, if not the best primer.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
