Recipe Reviews
Sovay from Northern England,
This came out pretty well; the flavour of the dill didn't come through and next time I'd probably add it towards the end of the cooking time rather than using it in the marinade. I didn't fry the garlic for nearly as long as the recipe said (it would have been very, very well browned if I had).
Opposite this recipe is a chapter intro in which the author states that the palate-cleansing sorbet often served part-way though a formal Edwardian dinner was accompanied by cigars for the men. I'm curious to know what source she got this from since it strikes me as complete nonsense.
I must not let this book annoy me. I must not let this book annoy me. I must not let this book annoy me ...
