My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a fascinating book about an equally fascinating period of history. Filled with interesting facts and tidbits along with an amazing number of recipes, this is sure to inspire you to want to make a Tudor feast!
There is a section of photos in the center of the book of Tudor era drawings, painting, artifacts, etc. The recipes include where they were found and the year. For instance, Coffyn of Grene Apples (Green Apple Pie) appeared in The Proper Newe Booke of Cookrye, c. 1557! The recipes also include historical notes or extra information at the top which just makes the book more interesting.
How about making some Figgy Pudding this Christmas or traditional Cornish Pasties? If you feel really adventurous, you can always try the Boar’s Head!
This is not just a book for cookbook enthusiasts! History buffs, homeschool moms and more will find much to interest them!
I received a copy of this book from Amberly Publishing through IPG for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
