Title: Devonshire Flavour: A Cookery Book With A Difference
Author: Elizabeth Lothian
Publisher: David and Charles
Publication date: 1971 (originally; this edition 1989)
Bought: Secondhand… somewhere!
Type: Regional cookery
Pages: 120
Notes: Possibly compiled as a fund-raising book judging by some of the notes accompanying the recipes? Recipes appear to have been solicited from a wide variety of people with connections to Devon.
Fabulously-named dishes: Smugglers’ Lamb Chops, Burnt Grapes (doesn’t sound like the sort of thing you need a recipe for…), Lighthouse Flashers (mashed potato towers baked and topped with a glacé cherry)
Other useful information contained within: Plenty of anecdotes and tidbits about Devon life, plus conversion tables, fat contents of various dairy products, and approximate number of drinks per bottle for various alcoholic products.
