And if anyone ever tells you how straitlaced the Victorians were, let them know that a proper ladies lemonade from that era contained more gin than they think. May 08, Symmonz rated it it was amazing. Most entertaining recipe book of all time I ended up reading this cover to cover just out of sheer entertainment.

I actually laughed out loud so many times I lost count. Almost each page has something either humorous or deprecating about the drink.

Please try again later. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I downloaded this book. This book was informative and, surprisingly, really, really funny.

I'd have to say this is the funniest cookbook I've ever read. And I read it cover-to-cover in one sitting.

The author has an informal writing style that makes this book anything but dry. It just oozes personality.

It was difficult to find good information on this subject in context.
