Charming, quirky cookbook,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ginger Tea Makes Friends (Ginger Tea Series) (Paperback)
I first discovered James Barber's cookbooks while living in Canada in the late 1970s. They are not by any means "haute cuisine." But they are delightful, full of clear, down-to-earth. eminently edible recipes that call for common ingredients and simple preparation, and enlivened with humorous, candid observations and recollections, and amusing cartoon illustrations. I lost my own copies some years ago and have been periodically checking used book sites, etc. with no luck. Am delighted to find they've been reissued and plan to repurchase them. While very sophisticated cooks might not find them all that interesting, young and "just starting out" cooks with limited expertise, resources, and equipment would find them enjoyable and useful, while "old hippies" and baby-boomers who are nostalgic for the flavor (literally) of the '60s and '70s would find them delightful.
