Four favourite Chalet girls get together on the subject of cookery, and produce their best and exciting recipes. Needless to say, the results are not all "good plain cooking". As might be expected, each contributes many of the more exciting and delicious recipes for which her country is famed.
Come and join Joey, Simone, Frieda and Marie in learning how to cook! Set just after the four have left the Chalet School, in the Tyrol, this is not just a book about cooking—there is plenty of chat between the four girls, and it is a wonderful addition to the Chalet School series, which many fans have never read.
The Chalet Girls’ Cookbook was first published in 1953, and has never been reprinted until now, so that copies have fetched several hundred pounds on the secondhand market.
The book is divided into the following chapters:-
Soups, Fish, Meat, Vegetables, Creams and Puddings, Cakes, Biscuits and Sweets, Cheese Dishes, Egg Dishes, Drinks, Odds and Ends.
This GGBP edition has an article by Clarissa Cridland on the relationship between the three Books for Girls and the Cookbook, and Adrianne Fitzpatrick and Ruth Jolly test some of the recipes for the modern cook.
