Small booklet (roughly 5 x 7 inches) with 47 pages. There are 11 black and white illustrations of english landmarks and historical english life by A. R. Quinton. There are no photographs or illustrations of the finished recipes. The book is put together like a travel memento. It's charming and nostalgic... a bit of authentic England from yesteryear.
It is important to realize that the recipes are from the UK, and there are differences in measurements compared with the US. For example, a pint is 20 ounces in the UK and 16 ounces in the US. A kitchen scale is essential, as dry ingredients are given in ounces.
There are also a few differences in ingredients. Caster sugar is simply very fine white sugar, and ordinary table sugar works just as well. Mixed spice is roughly the equivalent of pumpkin pie spice. Demerara sugar is very large crystals of sugar sometimes found in the US as a decoration on muffins. It can readily be found in the baking section of the supermarket. A useful website is Cooks Thesaurus at www.foodsubs.com.
