The Green Gables Kitchen Companion: Recipes Inspired by the World of L. M. Montgomery
Step into the kitchen at Green Gables and stay awhile.
This expanded second edition of The Green Gables Kitchen Companion gathers forty-seven recipes inspired by the world of Anne of Green Gables, now organized across four seasons — spring, summer, autumn, and winter — in keeping with the rhythms of a Prince Edward Island farmhouse kitchen.
From spring's first rhubarb crumble and buttermilk pancakes, to summer's raspberry cordial and blueberry grunt, to autumn's apple butter and harvest vegetable stew, to winter's plum pudding and mincemeat tarts — this is a full year of heritage farmhouse cooking, told one season at a time.
Each recipe carries its own story:
- A headnote drawn from the rhythms of turn-of-the-century Island life
- Historical context on how Island cooks made do, and made well
- A modern kitchen note to bring each dish confidently into today's kitchen
This isn't just a recipe collection — it's a vintage homemaking companion, blending cozy cottagecore charm with the practical, honest cooking of a working Prince Edward Island farmhouse. Whether you're revisiting a beloved piece of classic literature or simply drawn to old-fashioned comfort food, these pages offer a way to bring that spirit into your own kitchen.
New in this Second Edition:
- 47 recipes, expanded from the original 18, organized across four seasonal sections
- New illustrations opening each season
- Historical notes on Prince Edward Island farmhouse life and turn-of-the-century cooking
- Modern kitchen adaptations for every recipe, so nothing is lost in translation to a contemporary kitchen
