/Bread and Butter: Cakes and Bakes from Granny's Stove / Ciara McLaughlin

A quick look at this cookbook too. I didn't connect well with this book, which is unusual. At first I was puzzled as to the country (I presumed the US) and how how old Granny was - perhaps a lot younger than me.

It is an Irish book, but very little in the book "speaks" to me of Ireland. A lot of the desserts and pastries are common here too - coconut ice, jam drop biscuits, apple pie, roly poly cake, banana bread, crumbles, scones, lemon meringue pie, madeira cake .....

It may be my lack of knowledge about Irish food, but the Irishness comes through more in the breads and some of the heavier cakes/sweet loaf cakes.

It you are interested, it is available for around $45AU, but check around. I think there are better and cheaper books than this one. The cover is nice, though.

Better books on British food include Dark Rye and Honey Cake, and Oats in the North, Wheat from the South, by Regula Ysewijn. I have reviewed them previously. And best of all they are around $50AU for the pair, if you buy them together (See attached pic)
