The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook by Kate Macdonald is a collection of recipes inspired by L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables. Author Kate Macdonald is L.M. Montgomery's granddaughter, and she has a college degree in Home Economy. Her literary cookbook was first published in 1985 by Oxford University Press. I have the Seal Books edition, which was published in 1988. A new, expanded hardcover edition of the book (pictured above) was published in 2017 by Race Point Publishing, featuring full-color photography of the recipes. The recipes include chocolate caramels, Diana Barry's favorite raspberry cordial, Marilla's plum pudding, coconut macaroons, raspberry tarts, maritime gingersnaps, and more.
