Daverat's Wife writing here: This may not be an authorized nor an "official" companion cookbook to the hugely popular TV Series Downton Abbey Seasons 1 & 2 Limited Edition Set - Original UK Version, but what it lacks in Embassy stamps, it more than makes up for in enthusiasm, knowledge, humor and research. The Author, Emily Ansara Baines, and her publishers, go far out of their way to let you know from the beginning that this is only their loving viewers' interpretation of what kinds of dishes could have been expected to ber served by the various characters for various social occasions and meals while specifically distinguishing between the foods of the upper class and the heartier lower class servants' fare that would be cooked for the "help" to eat. Our Author entertains us with her obvious love of the show by playfully presenting each recipe in the social context of the times and to the taste of the various popular characters. She goes to great trouble to inform a reader or a cook new to the time-period on the dining habits and meal expectations of the two vastly different groups of characters - the haves and the have a lot lessers, shall we say.
The author does, however, make modern day substituitions for some ingredients that time would not permit a modern single cook to create on his or her own over the course of several days. Also, in a nod to the new American fans, they give the measurements American-Style, meaning by volume in cups and teaspoons and NOT by weigh in grams or ounces as is the case with most UK cookbooks. For example, they will say you need 4 chicken breasts rather than " X amount weight of white chiken meat on the bone.
