From the only 2 Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Who would not want to own this lovely little set of books? They aren't just cookery books, but works of art in themselves. Yes, the recipes may seem dated now or use ingredients which clash with current concepts of 'healthy eating' but they are classics of their time - and can always be adapted. But it's the notes and thoughts of these leaders in their field which make for such absorbing reading. I'm delighted to have found this set in a charity shop - not where they deserve to be, but most definitely an excellent find! Solid gold..."; "Great...easy to read and useful too."
