Review: Good recipe book to have at hand

I really rather like this recipe book. It has a fully interactive Table of Contents that can be accessed from my "Go To" menu on Kindle (that always scores an extra Brownie point on my non-fiction reviews) and a nicely written introduction. The recipes are great, and indeed frugal, the instructions clear and for a Brit rather amusing. The yoke of an egg (sounds all sociological, we have yolks), hominy (sounds more like a character trait than an ingredient), shortening (mind boggles) healthy teaspoons (I didn't know that they could be un-healthy). Joking aside, this is a good recipe book and includes all the regulars plus (for me) the added bonus of jellies and jams. I am willing the elder flowers to go over and make way for the elderberries so that I can make Elderberry Jam. Michael Holtby, you're onto a winner! (Can you write a glossary and conversion chart though for your poor neighbours across the pond).
