Experience the magic and enchantment of
The Secret Garden
whenever you like, right at home in your kitchen.
The Secret Garden Cookbook
, now newly revised, is the only cookbook that celebrates the delicious and comforting foods that play such an important role in the novel and its world.
Frances Hodgson Burnett's wonderful tale
celebrates its young heroine, Mary Lennox, as she brings an abandoned garden back to life. It also
delights in good food, robust appetites, and the health and strength they can bring
. It describes a world where water, light, and loving care bring soil and plants back to life—and also one in which fresh milk, homemade currant buns, and hearty, simple fare renew and bring pleasure to the novel's complex and fascinating characters. Amy Cotler serves up in these pages
50 recipes, all updated for the modern kitchen
, that are at once true to Mary's world and completely appealing for today's tastes. You will find a bounty of
baked things
, including English Crumpets, Cozy Currant Buns, Jam Roly Poly, Dough Cakes with Cinnamon and Sugar, and The Best Sticky Gingerbread Parkin. (A parkin is a cake rich in molasses, honey, and sugar that often is served on Guy Fawkes Day.) There is more-substantial and savory fare for
teatime and dinnertime
, too, and for
breakfast and brunch
, along with
drinks and snacks
for the daily whirl—all guaranteed to keep the magic of this beloved tale alive for years to come.
is an essential companion—and the pitch-perfect gift—for anyone, young or old, who loves the book.
