Interesting little volume! It's a collection of traditional Cornish recipes frequently cooked during the author's childhood, spent in Porthleven village during 1930s-1940s time I think. Interspersed with the recipes are anecdotes of how grandparents, other family members, and the local community cooked and ate during the year. I'll probably give a lot of the savoury recipes a miss as they're pretty lard-centric, but I'll definitely be trying some of the cakes. I've never made saffron buns before, for instance, and I'd like to give them a go.
