Although I love old cookbooks and cooking (I'm not anywhere near Anatole's superbness), I find them quite trying. The recipe instructions are a little daunting because they're not very precise and the lack of pictures is hard to contend with because I have the attention span of a 2 year old. However, if something you make for your party is really good you should definitely share!

Are the things Wodehouse attributes to Anatole actual meals or just made up? My French isn't too too bad but I always get stuck on a part of the name. If they are actual things or resembling actual things then perhaps they can be googled.
