"This book is made up entirely of recipes contributed and well-tried by countrywomen scattered over the length and breadth of the country. The dishes you will find here have not been concocted by experts with all the resources of a modern kitchen. They have been cooked by succeeding generations of women in the farmhouses of the British Isles: upon modern cookers, upon open fires, upon old-fashioned ranges with every variety of fuel, from peat and oil to electricity."Keywords: British Isles Open Fires Modern Kitchen Farmhouses Cookers Peat Breadth Dishes Electricity Generations Recipes
