The old farmhouse in question was Castle Top Farm, Cromford, Derbyshire. I was brought up on Little Grey Rabbit, Sam Pig, and later "A Traveller in Time" and the delightful reminiscence books about her late-Victorian country childhood. This is not so much a cookery book, though there are plenty of recipes, but another evocation of days gone by. Pauline Baynes's illustrations are delicious. I have a copy of Alison Uttley's 'Country Child' where I wrote the date from 15th - 24th December, a day per few pages, for the December chapter thereby extending and heightening the pre-Christmas pleasure. With such memories I was most distressed to read a biography of this remarkable, clever, flawed woman towards whom it would be extremely hard to warm and who was implicated in the suicides of both her husband and her son. This charmingly illustrated little volume, however, keeps the rural idyll intact and sets out some good, regional recipes with some social history alongside. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Alison Uttley is famous for her books about the country and her children's books, including the Little Grey Rabbit and Sam Pig series. Previously published in the 1960s as Recipes from an Old Farmhouse, this book is based on the recipes she enjoyed as a child, including Mrs. Lowe's Parkins, named after the neighbor who baked them and different natural remedies, including cough mixture and tinctures. Using her inimitable style, the famous author recalls incidents of childhood, including picking cowslips for cowslip wine and the importance of the seasons for produce in the days before most foodstuffs were available year-round. Divided into sections for different dishes, including cakes, breads and drinks, this is a beautifully written book which will appeal to fans of Alison Uttley, those who love cooking, or anyone who wants a good read.
