Extraordinary novel!!!! You have combined many of my passions: family connects in England (Blencowes), travel and food! At a family reunion in Oxord, we were delighted with "The Receipt Book of Ann Blencowe." She was born in 1656 and wrote many recipes and "physical cures." While a copy of the book was used for the modern day food historian's translations, the original was recently found. Should you run out of book themes...notes for another time. Any chance for a USA book tour????.
