5 Stars Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader
Absolutely beautiful cookbook - it appears brand new. I very much enjoyed the 9 of the Mitford Series novels, and didn’t know if I would like the cookbook. But, I love it. It is filled with excerpts from the Mitford Series along with the many recipes that were so enticing as I read all the novels!! Very impressed with the condition of the book and the speed of the delivery. Thank you.
