Reviews
"Whip up a Christmas plum pudding and settle in for season 3." -- People Magazine "American fans have to wait until January to return to the lives of the fascinating upstairs and downstairs residents. To hold yourself over, try some of these delicious dishes before returning to the big house." --The Today Show Bites Blog "Add a bit of sophistication and style to your Downton Abbey watching parties in the months to come. The great thing about the book is that it is not only laid out by meal course from Hor D'Oeuvres to the Finishing Touches of Sweets and Desserts, there are also some bits and bobs that will help you prepare Afternoon Tea, course pairings, tips for table seatings and etiquette guidelines." --Tellyspotting.org " Downton Abbey fans in America may be feeling hard up for some period drama, and the knowledge that we won't get to watch season 3 until January 2013 has us scheming up ways to get our fix. There's one other way to consume some Downton Abbey drama: by cooking it. That's right, The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook is on the way, by Emily Ansara Baines, who also gifted us with The Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook . Helpfully, she includes conversion tables for metric measurements, baking pan sizes and temperatures - these alone are worth the $21.95 cover price. Downton Abbey fans, get cooking!" -- Wall Street Journal "Not only is the cookbook a fascinating look at the British television series itself, it's a great historical look at the types of foods that were eaten by British royalty in the early 1900s. If you're a fan of Downton Abbey British television series or British cooking, you definitely need to buy The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook ." -- Blog Critics "Fans of Downton Abbey , you have to reasons to rejoice! Your long wait for the start of Downton Abbey , Season 3 in the United States is mitigated by the publication of Emily Ansara Baines' The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook . Peruse through its pages and you'll find period dishes from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. For the Downtown Abbey fan whose growing anticipation for Season 3 needs an outlet, this cookbook would make for the perfect gift." --Epicurious.com "It's filled with classic English recipes inspired by the show, tidbits about the denizens of Downton and tons of asides guaranteed to make a true fan smile and nod knowingly. Possibly the best part about the cookbook? It showcases the upstairs and the downstairs, just like the show. Even if you're not a Downton Abbey fan, this is a great general English cookbook to have on the shelf. If you are a Downton fan, it's probably a must buy - or an easy holiday gift for a fellow fan." --Chicagoist "With more than 150 recipes, you can create sumptuous delicacies - even if you don't have your own Mrs Patmore in the kitchen. Live one day as a lady and the next as a lady's maid with Edwardian entrees, downstairs suppers and puddings to please even the Dowager Countess." -- The Lady magazine "Thanks to this fun cookbook from Emily Ansara Baines, a little bit of that English charm can be found right in your own kitchen. It's hard to find a cookbook that has the right balance of fun and culinary, but this one manages to do just that." --Small Screen Scoop, "American fans have to wait until January to return to the lives of the fascinating upstairs and downstairs residents. To hold yourself over, try some of these delicious dishes before returning to the big house." --The Today Show Bites Blog "Add a bit of sophistication and style to your Downton Abbey watching parties in the months to come.

For fans of the program this book provides a good collection of recipes for re-creating a meal that those upstairs or downstairs at real English estates might have had." -- The Advocate "If you are enjoying further exploration of the trends of the Downton Abbey-inspired era, you'll love the etiquette lessons and 'time goes by' insets throughout the hardcover book.

I did make the Shepherd's Pie (page 222) recently. Have to say that I did take Mrs. Patmore's suggestion and substituted minced lamb for the beef and it was pretty darn good.

But for the fans who need to start planning their premiere night dinner parties immediately and want to channel their inner Mrs. Patmore in time, there's The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook . Obviously, these dishes are best served with the most Downtonesque of accoutrements: deception, jealousy and awkward sexual tension with your third cousin once removed." --BlackBook "Not only is the cookbook a fascinating look at the British television series itself, it's a great historical look at the types of foods that were eaten by British royalty in the early 1900s.

    Downton Abbey Cookbook - Very Saucy!

    This is a great book with interesting period recipes that will be totally delicious to use even today. It is helpful that my copy is in US Standard measurements vs. metric. The only thing that would make this book better would be if it had some pictures of the prepared recipes. Even though I will probably never need to know how to serve an 8-course meal, I am enjoying this cookbook and plan to gift a copy to my Downton Abbey loving friend!

  • Wonderful treasure!

    I thought, before I bought it, that this would just be a collection of tea sandwiches and scone recipes. Instead, this is a serious source of real, classic British cooking. I gave it to my daughter-in-law for Christmas and she was so excited to find rare things like clotted cream and plum pudding, along with lemon curd and so many main dishes. It's not just a vacuous nod to Downton Abbey. It is a genuine cookbook and it is fun to explore and use.
