I‘ve been so enjoying my reading of Pym‘s novel, Less Than Angels, that I had to take this little cookbook off my shelves and look through it again.
It‘s a small volume but full of food quotes from her novels (with accompanying recipes), bits from her personal diary, and memories of Barbara from her sister.
Recommended for the hardcore Pym fans out there. You know who you are. 😉
MsMelissa I love your editions! Are they new? I have a few of Pym‘s books but my editions are rather boring. 3y
Ruthiella I‘ve been tempted to get that book. I‘ll skip the tuna mousse but would love to try the cauliflower cheese! 😋 3y
AlaMich I have those editions, too. Except when I ordered them, they sent me one book in a large print hardcover instead of the paperback edition. ☹️ 3y

rubyslippersreads @Ruthiella My cats are intrigued by the thought of tuna mousse. 😹 3y
rubyslippersreads I love that cover! 3y
Ruthiella @rubyslippersreads Tuna mousse is definitely cat approved! 😹 3y
LeahBergen @MsMelissa Yes, these are the newer editions published by Virago. They haven‘t republished all of her books yet (I think there are maybe 3 or 4 more? 🤔). My Less Than Angels copy isn‘t in this photo and I didn‘t buy their edition of Excellent Women because I have one from the Folio Society. 😊 3y
LeahBergen @Ruthiella With the caterpillar? The cauliflower cheese recipe even has the quote about the caterpillar found in the one served in Some Tame Gazelle. 😆 3y
LeahBergen @AlaMich Oh, hell no! That makes my eye twitch. 😆😆 3y

The Adventures of Miss Barbara PymLeahBergen @batsy Umm... it was preordered. 🤣🤣 And that‘s something I seldom do! (edited) 3y
Cinfhen Stunning photo 💕😍 3y
batsy @LeahBergen Haha! Nice. That was absolutely the right thing to do. I'm trying to control myself until a paperback edition comes out 🤞🏽😅 3y
Cathythoughts Looks an interesting cookbook ... I‘m tempted 👍🏻❤️ 3y
Cathythoughts @Ruthiella I love Cauliflower cheese. 😋 3y
Ruthiella @Cathythoughts It sounds delicious 😋. I‘ve had broccoli with cheese sauce but not cauliflower cheese. And I think I‘ll try it sans caterpillar 🐛 @LeahBergen . 😆 3y
Moray_Reads Lovely collection. I do love these covers 3y
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen @Ruthiella My cats are also somewhat intrigued by the caterpillar. 😹 3y
Centique @Ruthiella cauliflower cheese is my daughters favourite side dish. We have it a lot. No caterpillars thank god! I‘m looking forward to reading Some Tame Gazelle soon. I‘ve loved the Pyms I‘ve read so far but I‘m jealous of these editions @LeahBergen ! 😍 3y
LeslieO OMG! I love your collection. My looks like such a hodgepodge. I have the cookbook but I‘ve never read it! 3y
charl08 I love that cover! 3y
LeahBergen @Centique I loved Some Tame Gazelle (and I‘m pretty sure you will, too!) 😘 3y
LeahBergen @charl08 I like the little teapots 😊 3y
