Favourite recipes from Cornwall
are featured in this book from the Salmon Favourite Recipe series.

Paperback format with 48 high quality pages covering 36 recipes.

This charming little book opens with an alphabetical list of the recipes contained within.
Each recipe opens with the title, a note, the list of ingredients along with the method.
Metric Conversion tables are given on the last page before a complete list of the titles in the Salmon series on the inside back cover.

Interspersed with sepia photographs, my particular favourite being of:-

'St Michael's Mount, from Mousehole', alongside a tasty recipe for:-

'Star Gazey Pie' - 'this renowned Cornish pie is particularly linked with Mousehole.
The name derives from the way the fish heads overlap the sides of the dish and point heavenwards.'

Other recipes include:-

Cornish Pasty
Cornish Splits
Mutton and Turnip Pie
Penzance Cake
Cornish Potato Cake
Sausage Roly-Poly
Railway Pudding
Marinated Pilchards
Cornish Under Roast
Cornish Clotted Cream
Ginger Fairings
Cornish Junket
Figgie Hobbin
Cornish Saffron Cake
Cornish Chicken Pie
Special Christmas Pudding

A great value range of recipe books
I own the whole series of these books and every single one of them contains a great selection of recipes.

If you are a basic cook like me, then these recipes are ideal. However, if you like to cook complex fancy dishes then these may disappoint you.

The ingredients used are everyday items that most of us will have in our kitchens and the layout is very simple to use. The majority of the recipes I have tried have turned out extremely well and my friends have all commented on the books and borrow them!

Each book has a paperback wipe clean cover which is very practical. The majority have around 48 pages and the recipes are in alphebetical order with an index at the back. Obviously these are budget books and you will not find any fancy photographs, however, the food is simple and easy to make and is very tasty!

If like me you become addicted to these fab little books then be careful as a number of recipes are repeated throughout a number of books, but at this price who cares!

One helpful thing to know is, that as Amazon only stock a limited number of these books, there are contact details in the back of each book so you can order directly from Salmon books directly.

Well worth 5 stars.
