Synopsis

This intriguing book of four different generations of Carolyn Shaw’s Quaker family’s recipes brings together delicious dishes from her mother Elfrida Foulds (Easter Pie and escalloped celery and carrots); her Grandmother Dorothy Brown (scrambled potatoes and fried apple rings for breakfast); her great Aunt Mabel Crowley (potted rabbit and Lardy pudding); and Elizabeth Curtis, her three times great Grandmother (who offers up recipes for lip salve, toothache, and whooping cough… as well Captain Cook’s Biscuits!).
