Sono cresciuta circondala da una famiglia di veri amanti del cibo, e ho iniziato a cucinare non appena sono stata in grado di tenere in mano un cucchiaio di legno.'Le ricette di Miss Dahl' presenta cento delle mie ricette preferite, suddivise per stagione, mescolate sapientemente con un pizzico delle disavventure che le hanno ispirate e rese tali. Dagli stufati estivi profumati al limone, alle torte croccanti, le insalate e le zuppe per i giorni senza peccato - ma anche dessert sontuosamente decadenti, che si ispirano alle meravigliose torte di mia nonna Gee-Gee e della sua fantastica cucina - cibo incredibilmente indulgente ma sano, che celebra in modo semplice la grande gioia che è mangiare.'

A sly and satirical fairytale by the author of Cold Comfort Farm

Unavailable for decades, Stella Gibbons's Nightingale Wood is a delightfully modern romance ripe for rediscovery by the many fans of Cold Comfort Farm.

Poor, lovely Viola has been left penniless and alone after her late husband's demise, and is forced to live with his family in their joy­less home. Its occupants are nearly insufferable: Mr. Withers is a tyrannical old miser; Mrs. Withers dismisses her as a common shop girl; and Viola's sisters-in-law, Madge and Tina, are too preoccupied with their own troubles to give her much thought. Only the prospect of the upcoming charity ball can lift her spirits-especially as Victor Spring, the local prince charming, will be there. But Victor's intentions towards the young widow are, in short, not quite honorable.

A full-color photographed collection of 100 recipes--indulgent but balanced food that celebrates the simple joys of cooking and eating--is liberally spiced with the misadventures and travels that inspired them, in a book that includes such dishes as Paris Mash, Chocolate Chestnut Soufflé, Chicken Curry and more. 20,000 first printing.
