I read the original version, and it is charming! Between the constant "....and so easy to make!" comments of Bettina, and her many references to her fireless cooker (which as far as I can tell, used heated stones) you'd think this would come off as prissy and know-it-all. Well, it does, but in a fun way. The recipes are easily adapted for modern use, and the little stories that begin each chapter are entertaining and often contain cute ideas or household hints. Not to mention someone said "'de-licious!' with a Teddy-fied grin" and I GOT THAT REFERENCE.
