Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.49 You Save: £1.50 (21%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.49
In this book, Maggie Black, a leading writer on development issues, convincingly reveals the flaws of the prevailing views on and practices in international development. But she does not stop here, drawing on a vast array of literature, documents and studies as well as a wide and profound personal experience, she forcefully shows new and feasible ways on how to improve the living conditions of millions of people who have to make do with not more than one Euro per day. In this sense, this book is a true and welcoming guide.

2.The Medieval Cookbook by: Maggie Black 1996-02

I think this book is great, having a fond interest in Culinary history (Especially ancient), this book filled the spot as an introduction to expand into the medieval era. With some wonderful recipes translated and the inclusion original recipe in original form, makes interesting reading to see the comparison of the english language from then until now for anyone with a passing interest in languages. With 7 chapters of recipes and 1 chapter of 'remedies', each chapter begins a different view on cooking and includes a good introduction to each chapter, from Doomsday to the cookery monks and nuns did, the later middle ages, and christmas cookery. Whilst most of the recipes would be easily made, some of them would require ... Read More:

3.The Jane Austen Cookbook by: Maggie Black, Deirdre Le Faye, Deirdre Le Faye March 25, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.49 You Save: £3.50 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.00
This is a lovely and shortish introduction to cooking and culture of eating and entertaining for the late Georgian period when Austen was alive. I loved the fact that this was about cooking and eating rather than some of the less universally approachable subjects (letters, literary criticism). Maggie Black and Deidre Le Faye have both written Jane Austen style and culture type books before so both understand the period and are able to draw on a large resource of appropriate information. The introduction is very much about how people ate - what was available, how it got to houses, and why this was so. There is some division by class (upper class, middle class and lower class are all discussed) but also the divisions by Geography - whether ... Read More:

6.Medieval Cookery: Recipes and History (Cooking Through the Ages) by: Maggie Black December 22, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.59 You Save: £0.40 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.52
In many ways this is a good book, giving recipes redacted for modern use and some interesting information. Unfortunately Ms Black does not merely turn recipes into modern language, she adapts them leaving out difficult to find ingredients and adding modern ingredients such as tomatoes which were unknown in medieval times, and even worse does not point out where she has done this. For someone new to historical food the book is therefore seriously flawed, and to someone who already has some knowledge it does not give anything useful since the information is suspect.

9.Food and Cooking in 18th-Century Britain by: Jane Renfrew, Maggie Black, Peter Brears, Jennifer Stead January 01, 1985
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.74
An interesting little book about cooking methods and ingredients used in the eigteenth century, and includes a few recipes as well (converted to modern measurements and ingredients). However - this book is nearly identical to "Georgian Cookery: Recipes and History". There are a few differences in content (including one or two recipes) but not enough to justify the current high "finders fee" for this out of print version.
