A wonderfully nostalgic cookery book, it will take you straight back to your favourite childrens books and show you how to cook the feel-good foods that feature so strongly in them. So, youll find recipes for Swallows and Amazons Squashed-Fly Biscuits, the Famous Fives Gorgeous Ginger Beer, and Gloriously Sticky Marmalade Roll from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe amongst others. Divided into appropriate sections like Proper Elevenses, Picnic Treats and Lessons in the Kitchen each recipe is introduced with an evocative description of the book that inspired it. Guaranteed to take you straight back to your childhood, the book is an escapist treat for grown-ups and will encourage you to re-visit much-loved classics and share them with the next generation.
