Product Description
Inspired by the most famous of all Canadian children's books, L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables,this cookbook combines easy step-by-step recipes with charming watercolours of Anne and her friends and quotations from three of the ever-popular Anne books.

From 'Poetical Egg Salad Sandwiches' to 'Anne's Liniment Cake' and 'Diana Barry's Favourite Raspberry Cordial,' these delicious treats will be fun to make--and they'll be sure to turn out well because they were kitchen-tested by a twelve-year old who had perfect results!

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
With direct quotes from L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea and Anne of Windy Poplars, Macdonald assembles a tempting array of recipes that any young cook can create. All of the dishes were inspired by references in the books, although "Marilla's Plum Pudding" with "Caramel Pudding Sauce" is offered without requiring the presence of a certain mouse. And "Diana Barry's Favourite Raspberry Cordial," which made Diana drunk, is here nonalcoholic. Macdonald is Montgomery's grandaughter, which will surely appeal to young Anne fans, but the book, with Di Lella's pleasant drawings, can be enjoyed by anyone.

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7 ``Anne''-philes as well as those having only a nodding acquaintance with the classic Canadian series will be charmed by this collection of 25 tantalizing recipes. The author, who is a home economist and a granddaughter of Anne's creator, L. M. Montgomery, has selected recipes inspired by passages from the Anne books. The result is a delightful match of captivating quotations to appropriate delicacies. Anne's lament, ``I wish people could live on pudding. Why can't they, Marilla? I want to know,'' accompanies a butterscotch pudding recipe which could surely prove life-sustaining. Strategic cooking tips and definitions of essential culinary terms precede the simple but appealing recipes, all of which include lists of utensils needed. Novice cooks (and their parents) will welcome MacDonald's step-by-step procedures and selection of inexpensive ingredients. The emphasis is on sweets, with two-thirds of the recipes being for desserts. Delicate illustrations, some in full color, capture the essence of the series. Librarians who purchase this book can anticipate a rush on their Montgomery collections. Merilyn Burrington, Vergennes Union High School, Vt.

Very nice.
I tried the shortbread recepie yesterday and it came out delicious. I was impressed! My parents, who are big fans of shortbread, loved it. My mom (who also makes shortbread) said it was the perfect taste and sweetness. Best of all it was easy, quick, and the ingredients were simple. Can't wait to try all the other recepies! (They also look easy enough).
Anne's Saucy Chicken is divine!
I received this cookbook a long time ago, when I was a little girl and could not cook. This book gave me the confidence to prepare delicious dishes, like Anne's saucy chicken and Mrs. Irving's Shortbread. The first dinner that I cooked for my boyfriend (now he is my husband) was Anne's saucy chicken. He was so impressed that he thought I was a chef or something. What he did not know was that was the only recipe I knew! Since then, I have expanded my horizons, but I will treasure this cookbook forever.
PS: My husband and I went to Prince Edward Island for our honeymoon, so my love for "Anne" definitely determined our destination!
Terrific
This book is amazing! The recipes are easy to follow and absolutely delicious :) I had to do a project for Home Ec. in which I planned and cooked a 4 course meal, then had people evaluate it, I used only recipes from this cookbook and it was fabulous. I would definately recommend this book to anyone. The illustrations add a wonderful touch to this masterpiece.
P.S. I got 96% on my project :)
