Margaret Powell now takes readers on another tour of her world of service in some of the greatest houses in England in “Margaret Powell’s Cookery Book.” She tells more stories of her life, but most of the focus is on the many different meals she prepared as Cook in the homes she worked in. She also compares foods she made for work and for her own house. There are many wonderful sounding recipes that readers can make themselves. Her three books “Below Stairs,” “Servant’s Hall” and “Margaret Powell’s Cookery Book” are the basis for the TV shows of “Upstairs Downstairs” and “Downton Abbey” that no fan of both can afford to miss.
