Mr S - I bet it has very reliable and probably quite interesting recipes for things like pies, savoury supper dishes, cakes and biscuits.
You might be surprised how much is relevant. Compared to modern books the recipes will probably be quite short and dry (in the non-pastry sense). Some of the processes will seem escessive in our age of convenience. But I love these kind of books; Constance Spry is one of my faves.
