Aunt Maud's Recipe Book: From the Kitchen of L.M. Montgomery

Famous for her Anne of Green Gables and Emily stories, author Lucy Maud Montgomery is less well known for her love of cooking and her talent in the kitchen. Her original handwritten ledger, treasured in the family for generations, was passed down to Elaine Crawford and her daughter Kelly.

Aunt Maud's Recipe Book is a collection of foods that Montgomery served to her family and friends. Elaine and Kelly have selected a wonderful range of family favorites from the original recipe ledger. Included are menus such as "Afternoon Tea at the Manse," "Growing up at Green Gables," and "Down Home Favourites." From hearty dishes such as Pork Mock Duck, Third Try Beef and Roast Goose, to Marion's Orange Cake, Mrs. MacPherson's Ginger Snaps, and L.M. Montgomery's son Stuart favorite, Mock Cherry Pie.

Recipes are interlaced with family anecdotes, photographs, and remembrances of Maud throughout her Norval years. Aunt Maud's Recipe Book is a historic keepsake.
