Giveaway #5 – Downton Abbey & Archers Cookbooks

Giveaways, More 206 Replies

Another giveaway for you… and this time 3 books including The Unofficial Downton Abbey Cookbook, The Archers Cookbook Collection (has two books in a case) and the Reader’s Digest Teashop Treats. The Downton book seems like a lot of fun and perfect for the avid Downton fan which I have to say I have become one of. The recipes are well laid out and there are little snippets of info on the Downton age regarding etiquette.  Now the Archers books… despite not regularly listening to this institution I found myself lingering over the pages. There’s a lot of love gone into these books and many of the savoury recipes had me reaching for my notepad to jot down ingredients for my trip to Sainsbos. My favourite of this bundle is most definitely the Teashop Treats book. A small book that crams in over 90 recipes, it reignited the fire in my belly to open a little tea shop. I know it’s hard work. I know it doesn’t make much money. I know, I know, I know! BUT when you’re serving up delights like strawberry shortcake, blackcurrant fruit loaf and bara birth I’d be a very tired and poor yet happy person I’m sure.

  127. Lovely prize would love to win this, I never got chance to see downton abbey when it was on.

  133. I would love the Downton Abbey one and I reckon my Dad would love the Archers one!!

  134. I had a conversation at the weekend with a friend who is crazy about cooking and baking, and she has convinced me that I should make time for both – having three great books like these to refer to would definitely get me off to a good start!

  136. Like you I’ve always dreamt of having a tea shop and as I’m an avid Archers’ fan and quite keen on Downton too, this bundle would be very much appreciated.

  189. Oh, these sound fascinating. I love the idea of cook books that fit specific eras/lifestyles.

  195. These look super, My husband has started to dig out cook books, im not complaining as he is starting to cook – but when hes pointing out I should have done this.. he gets a frowny face from me!!
