New Farmhouse Fare [antikvár]

FOREWORDFor more than half a century, Farmhouse Fare has held pride of place among country cookbooks. Brainchild of the late Mary Day, first editor of Farmers Weekly's Home Section, it was pubUshed in 1934 and has since sold more than half a million copies. The secret of Farmhouse Fare's success is that the recipes were supplied by Farmers Weekly readers. For who better than those who live and work in the countryside to devise delicious ways of serving homegrown produce?In 1982 Farmhouse Fare went into its seventh edition but we were convinced that our readers had more culinary treats still to share with us. So in the past couple of years Farmers Weekly has run a series of seasonal recipe contests, as well as a competition sponsored by Food from Britain. It is from these competition entries that the bulk of New Farmhouse Fare has been compiled. References to "high tech" implements and a smattering of foreign names for dishes set these recipes firmly in the 'eighties. But we are sure you will find this collection contains the same blend of originality and common sense as its forerunner.British farming is the best in the world and New Farmhouse Fare proves our farmers' wives can outcook all comers too.Mary Wagner, Farmlife Editor, Farmers Weekly.
