Summary:
"In the early twentieth century, Newfoundland trailblazer
Agnes
Marion Miller
Ayre
became an outspoken advocate for allowing women to vote. She was also an avid botanist and an accomplished artist who published a book, Wild Flowers of Newfoundland. One overlooked aspect of
Ayre
's remarkable life was a recipe collection she wrote in a small notebook, starting in 1917. She didn't bother with traditional recipes not a boiled dinner or pan-fried cod to be found but collected out-of-the-ordinary dishes for the time, along with ingenious ways of being frugal with leftovers. Intrigued by this historical document and curious about what exactly the lady of a middle-class household in World War I St. John's would feed her family, Roger Pickavance and
Agnes
Marion Murphy (
Ayre
's granddaughter) set about cooking all 140 recipes in the century-old notebook. Most worked well, some did not, and many would make a welcome addition to a modern cook s repertoire. Pickavance and Murphy have reworked some recipes, filling in the blanks, simplifying steps, and offering ingredient substitutions where required. The result is a glimpse into the personal life of
Agnes
Ayre
and a cookbook full of delicious surprises."--From publisher.
