I loved this book in the beginning but by the end I was disenchanted with the elitist/lecturing tone it took. In her older years, Jones seems to lose touch with the changing tastes of society and laments the loss of what she‘s as superior. Her recipes call for calves‘s brains, rabbit in a sour chocolate sauce, shad roe, duck gizzards, etc. none of which appeal to me. I will attempt a gluten free version of her Butterscotch Cookie recipe though!
