Traditional Food from Wales

Rating:
Summary: A mini-vacation to Wales
Review: Bobby Freemans's "Traditional Food from Wales" is absolutely one of the most enjoyable cookbooks I have ever had my hands on. The recipies are so skillfully interwoven with the lore and stories of past and present Wales, that they serve only to enhance the readers' experience, as opposed to interrupting it. In this book you will find recipies ranging from early medieval times through to turn of the century and modern Wales. I consider this book a true cornucopia for anyone interested in Wales, not only it's foods, but its people, its past..

Summary: Lots of history and recipes (which need more detail for me)
Review: I've found it to be a very interesting book to read for the history as well as the recipes. I would, however, like greater detail in those recipes because while they are probably good enough for a good cook an amateur like me would need a bit more detail. You may also find that you'll need an English/American dictionary (Amazon has one or more)because this book was written by an Englishman and some terms will likely not be familiar.
