Wilkins, The Library, Crowborough, Susses, 1909. Hard copy with 160 pages. This book is in excellent antique condition. Cover is in very good conditions: gold printing is in excellent condition. Corners are bumped and spine cover is slightly lightened. There’s a nick out of the front edge of the cover. The front spine is exposed, but holding. Front and back flyleaves are discolored, probably from clippings being stored there. However, the remainder of the pages are clean and clear.

The chapters are Soups, Fish for Breakfast and Dinner, Meat and Entrees, Sauces, Etc., Puddings and Cold Sweets, Vegetables and Savouries, Jams, Etc., Breads, Cakes, and Pastry, and Liqueurs and Beverages. The majority of these recipes are for something sweet. Everything sounds delicious! The recipes are quite clear and easy to follow. They certainly give the reader a glimpse into British country life.
