Book Reviews of The Lord Peter Wimsey Cookbook
Book Review: Nice concept, but I would not want to eat this stuff.
Summary: 3 Stars
The idea behind this book is unique. Taking passages out of Lord Peter Wimsey novels and turning them into practical cooking. You get the added fun of remembering the passages and feel that you are one of the company.
There are no slang recipes as Spotted Dick or Toad in a Hole. Evidently these people are too sophisticated for that sort of thing. However what may have proved to be a good recipe is expanded into the exotic.
I did find one I could make with out buying things like kidneys, PIPER'S PARRITCH:
"In general, porridge is not a regular feature of Lord Peter's breakfast table, although he does on occasion, 'tak` a bit o' paritch' with is eggs and bacon while on holiday in Scotland (Five Red Herrings.)"
In chapter 4 "An Orgy of Teas" just about every recipe from cookies to sandwiches require an inordinate amount of butter.
"The lord Peter Wimsey Cookbook" does make a nice coffee table conversation book.
