The book is are arranged according to occasion: Breakfast, Sunday Lunch . . . Afternoon Tea . . . Special Occasion . . . which apart from being rather prescriptive means that the recipes are all over the place; if you are looking for a main course it requires scouring the entire book, they are not grouped together, the same goes for deserts, cakes etc.
Some of the recipes I find rather fiddly, a lot of (unnecessary?) work, having been cooking for more years than I care to recall I don't believe all the extra work entailed is worth it, there are easier ways to produce a tasty dish. I also find some of the recipes wasteful; at least one requires that you discard the vegetables before serving, and the recipe for cucumber sandwiches not only wastes half the cucumber but instructs cutting the crusts of the bread - surely we are past such wasteful practices (and do we need to be told how to make a cucumber sandwich?).
