I realise some people may skim through the recipes and just read the non-recipe stuff but the recipes are all relevant to the other writing: the ingredients consist of what they happened to be growing or picking at the time, alternatives to what one would normally use and so on. Just reading through these recipes and the foods sounded incredibly tasty for me! I enjoyed this book, well presented and nice pics!

Many interesting facts, not your normal run-of-the-mill recipes, facts about how they grew or gathered these ingredients. It was all very interesting to me and I read every bit of this book.

The mushroom episode! Then-growing mushrooms from a kit-I had no idea you could get these/grow mushrooms from a kit. Some really different recipes for me-different from the norm, using some ingredients you never think of.

I like how there's a reason for each recipe, it's not just a collection of random ones, eg, if they had an abundance of potatoes at the time, you get a recipe or two for these etc. It's amazing the variety of things she grew-well, to me it is-eg beetroot.

Word choices seem better in this book eg commodity, immense. More thought. Less repetition. Certainly good and improved presentation. Cleaning Windows with newspaper and white vinegar-to the bafflement of her French neighbours! It just sounds all so yummy, all these foods they are growing. I'm certainly no gardener but I've still found this very interesting and enjoyed the read.

Incorporated a little story from her school days, home economics classes-some welcome comedy here. There's a few more little sprinkles of humour even though quite early on in the book.
