The Penlee Recipe Book

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Rediscover the simple pleasure of cooking for those you love with more than 100 delicious recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and, of course, dessert. TASTE CANADA AWARDS GOLD WINNER Rosie Daykin, founder of Butter Baked Goods and bestselling author of Butter Baked Goods and Butter Celebrates!, realized early on that her talent in life is feeding others. For her, cooking is a way of starting a conversation--a way of saying "thank you," "I love you," or simply "tell me about your day"--with something much tastier than just words. Rosie's cooking is as unfussy and straightforward as it is delicious and beautiful. Given how busy life can be, she doesn't believe making a comforting home cooked meal should make it any more complicated--because complicated doesn't always mean better. Let Me Feed You is a warm, humorous cookbook full of easy-to-follow recipes destined to become new favorites. It is a celebration of everyday life at home, filled with beautiful photography, funny stories, and Rosie's love of blue and white stripes. Let Me Feed You is the perfect gift for yourself, or for anyone in your life who has fed you, or loved you.

Sometime in the 1950s, Emiko Davies' nonno-in-law began the tradition of ringing in the new year with tortellini al sugo. He served it along with spumante and a round of tombola, and sparked a trend; up until the 1970s, you could find tortellini at midnight on New Year's Eve in the bars around the Tuscan town of Fucecchio.

This is just one of the heirloom dishes in this collection, for which Emiko Davies has gathered some of her favourite family recipes. They trace generations that span the length of Italy, from the Mediterranean port city of Taranto in the southern heel of Puglia to elegant Turin, the city of aperitif and Italian cafe culture in the far north and, finally, back to Tuscany, which Emiko calls home. 

Tortellini at Midnight is a book rich with nostalgia, with fresh, comforting food and stunning photography. It is a book that is good for the soul.
