Reader's note

This lively collection of over three hundred recipe is drawn from the memories of several English hostesses and cooks who have lived and worked in distinguished country houses, cooking small light meals as well as large and grand ones for over fifty years. Mrs Stanley, who compiled this book, is an accomplished cook herself, but her principal contributor is Mrs Menzies, the daughter of a header forester on the estates of the Duke of Montrose, whose first job as a cook was with Mrs Ronnie Greville of Polesden Lacy. The recipes are carefully prepared, each one having been cooked through many times over by Mrs Stanley, with all the measurements carefully checked and stated. They are tersely written, the whole emphasis being to help the ubsy cook who needs to work fast. It seems mouth-watering reading nevertheless for those who cook only vicariously, and is decorated with charming views of English country houses taken from nineteenth-century prints, the great age of English country house living.
