What I really liked about this book was the memories that it evoked. I grew up in England and the Lemon Curd recipe reminded me of when I used to make that with my mom and of making Lemon Meringue Pie. The Butterscotch sauce recipes makes me think of English school lunches. We used to get this awful meat pie but for dessert they served us a Butterscotch Tart which was delicious.Some of the combinations sound a little strange but I am tempted to try them out. I will be making the Vanilla Lavender Muffins and just have to try the combination of orange and cumin. While the title of this book does say quick breads it also has plenty of muffins as well. I often turn a muffin recipe into a loaf or bread myself so am quite happy with this addition.If you are looking for homemade recipes that remind you of your childhood then this book is just the ticket.
