  <default-description>More than a cookbook, the Mrs. Charles Darwin's Recipe Book delineates a lifestyle at the top of English society and intelligentsia at the time. This treasure trove that includes unlikely dishes such as Turnips Cresselly and Penally Pudding contains, even, another cook evident in the work: The recipe for boiling rice is in Charles Darwin's own hand. The image of Darwin standing over a pot of boiling water with his pocket watch in hand, is one to savor, along with every other vestige of a lost kitchen and lifestyle come back to life here.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Eh...I had much higher expectations for this book, but agree with most others who reviewed it here.  Liked the story of the Darwin Family, but the recipes were mediocre at best.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I bought this book, even after my  husband said he heard Mrs. Darwin wasn't a very good cook and that was why he spent so much time on the Beagle (ha ha).  I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more substance to the book.  There aren't many recipes, but reading about the Darwins was interest...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55414410">more...</a>]]></body>
