The Nutmeg Trail by Eleanor Ford

Usually, a book of recipes is not one that I manage to completely read and review. It is hard to gauge how to talk about a book like this. This time around, when I started reading this book, I was pleasantly surprised by its format and content.It has a lot more non-vegetarian content than is…
