Delicious Green Gables Recipes: An Illustrated Cookbook Inspired by "Anne of Green Gables"!

How many generations have loved L.M. Montgomery’s “Anne of Green Gables”? Quite a few – it was originally published in 1908 and is one of those rare books that is even more popular today than when it was launched. Set in the fictional community of Avonlea, the very real Canadian province of Prince Edward Island, the book is also unique in that it appeals to adults and children alike. Do you have to read “Anne of Green Gables” in order to enjoy these recipes? It’s not essential, but I think it’s fun to see how the recipes relate to Montgomery’s book. Fair warning, though – if you’re not yet acquainted with the delightful Anne Shirley and her supporting cast of characters but intend to read the book, you may find more spoilers than you like as you read through the recipes. Are the recipes all from Prince Edward Island? No. PEI is known for its delicious potatoes, so of course, I’ve included potato recipes. Being an island, it’s surrounded by water, so you’ll also find seafood represented. Mostly, though, I’ve tried to create a representation of the recipes you’d find in a conventional cookbook – they’re all there, but they’re not arranged by category. Instead, they follow the chronology of “Anne of Green Gables” from beginning to end. Will you enjoy making the recipes? If you love to cook but don’t like having to chase down exotic ingredients, I believe you’ll find many new favorites here. Perhaps you’ll even pass this cookbook on to future generations, the way so many did with “Anne”!
