My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely adore Anne of Green Gables. I’ve lost track how many times I’ve read them over the years, and have tried to pass that love on to my daughters as well. Therefore, I was thrilled to receive this cookbook!! The first pass through the book was just seeing what was included (Raspberry Cordial!!!), reading the quotes from the books and so on. I then moved on to the important part–the recipes!

The first recipe we tried was the Chocolate Goblin’s Food Cake. Who can forget Anne’s dream of being chased by a fearful goblin with a layer cake for a head?! Well, this one was well worth the inclusion!! Moist and decadent, it was everything a chocolate layer cake should be.

While there are a few recipes that kind of made me scratch my head such as Sunshiny Corn Souffle or Matthew Cuthbert’s Yummy Biscuit Sandwich (which were not even alluded to in the books!), it does include many recipes specifically referenced in the books such as Chocolate Caramels, Raspberry Tarts, Marilla’s Plum Pudding and Davy and Dora’s Monkey Faces.

The recipes are divided into Recipes from Anne of Green Gables, Recipes from Anne of Avonlea, Recipes from Anne of Windy Poplars and Recipes from L. M. Montgomery’s Kitchen. I like this division as it is easy to look up recipes from a specific book.

This is a great book for any Anne of Green Gables fan. The recipes are good and easy to make, and the book itself is just delightful! I am happy to wholeheartedly recommend it!

I received a copy of this book from Quarto for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
