The ones I have tried are good recipes. Mostly I bought it to read. The history is interesting. It's pretty, which sounds flip but in a cookbook pictures are important.

A really well put together book of food history. Clearly well-researched with a choice between modern and original recipes, and the photos and art were great. I learned a lot.

Has some historical recipes which are always good for a laugh, but also plenty of recipes that are actually doable in a modern kitchen with modern ingredients.
Living outside the UK, I was looking for a lot more variety in puddings to make without suet readily available to me (and/or helpful advice on what suet achieves in a pudding so I can make viable substitutions). Unfortunately, all the non-suet puddings are just very bog-standard (like Bread and Butter pudding).

This is a nice cookbook. Interesting, beautiful pictures. It has a lot of information about the history of pudding which can be interesting but can also be skipped over if you don't need that much info. However, the info makes the recipes more meaningful. The author does say that she isn't one for sweet puddings and embraces the traditional savory pudding which she lives up to as most of the recipes are savory. The photography in the book help to highlight history of these puddings and are beautiful.
