Day Littrell: The National Trust has given us a great gift with their well-trained and well-educated docents throughout the NT properties, and none has captured my imagination more that Mrs Crocombe and her YouTube videos demonstrating not only Victorian recipes (for both the titled and their servants), but also sliding in historical background information and the reasons why things were done just so. I was thrilled to find that the NT was putting out a book - and what a book! The inclusion of some of the real Mrs Crocombe's personal writings is astonishing, and the recipes are as easy to follow as when they're playing out on YouTube. Such a delight!

berrya: If you like the YouTube English Heritage channel "The Victorian Way", this book is a perfect compliment to the series. It's not a true cookbook, so you're looking for a straightforward cookbook, this is not for you.

Caddü: Das Layout ist schön und übersichtlich, die Rezepte laden zum Träumen von romantischen Tagen zwischen Rosenbusch, weißem Stein und Kaminfeuer ein. Mit viel Hintergrundwissen und kleinen Anekdoten zum damaligen Leben, überzeugt das Buch auf ganzer Linie.

But this is more than just a cookbook. It's really a history of cooking in an English manor house of the period. It is based on a real recipe book by Mrs. Crocombe, and actual Victorian cook. So, even if you don't make the recipes, you really learn a lot about life downstairs.
