What a fun cookbook! I love the connection to the Secret Garden. The little notes about the books and other tips are really great. The recipes in this book are lovely. I cannot wait to make them! I like the organization of different parts of the cookbook. The photos are very yummy! Wonderful and fun cookbook!

What a charming book! With lovely illustrations, quotes from the Secret Garden, beautiful food, and a solid mix of Secret Garden inspired recipes (scones, porridge, and a proper pot of tea!), I am already putting this one on my list of gift ideas for my daughter, a little chef who also happens to love England.

Thanks to NetGalley and Quarto for providing an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review.

With 50 recipes related to this favorite children's book, Amy Cotler has dedicated her revised selections to "good appetite, good food and good health." Divided into seven sections, from simple picnic fare to elegant tea time finger foods, with an emphasis on farm to table fruits and vegetables, this book also allows us snippets from the original book text, so we can relate the food to the times and experiences.
We learn about the history and traditions as well as about the food and preparation ways themselves.
From Indian fare to ways the English desired their food prepared and presented, this is a testament to the times and households, as well as showing how important good nutrition and fresh food are to remaining healthy.
I found the trivia passages at the bottom of the page to be quite interesting as well.
We learn fun facts about everything from class differences to entertainment options to medical cures and weather related trivia.

This book tempts me to reread the classic tome and cook or bake along as I read.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for sharing this title with me.

What a delightful cookbook. Coddled eggs, pease pudding, raspberry jam... what more could a cook ask for. Beautifully laid out, simple but very effective recipes and instructions; would make a lovely gift. Thanks NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.
