Call the Midwife: The Official Cookbook

Product Information

Yes. And also because, aside from textbooks, there is no book in all American or European literature written by a midwife about midwifery. Given the enormity of the subject, that’s extraordinary!

Worth died on 31 May 2011, having been diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus earlier in the year. I listened to this on audio, narrated by Nicola Barber, and it was excellent. She does fantastic voices and accents, and I plan to listen to her read the other two books in the series. Babies as premature as Conchita’s twenty–fifth child are never allowed to stay home today. Do you think he would he have survived if he had been taken to the hospital?

The true memoirs behind the TV series

Sister Monica Joan was meaner than I expected, she was actually kind of a bully to Sister Evangeline. In the tv show she's far more lovable and everything she says and does seems harmless, in this she was horrible. I decided to read this book because I recently watched the BBC/PBS show "Call the Midwife", which is based on the memoirs by Jennifer Worth. I absolutely fell in love with the TV show-- it has a perfect mix of happy and sad, with great characters. Jennifer's three male friends are invited to dine at the convent is pure comic genius. The premature baby chapter is another beautiful story, but honestly, I love them all.

Fear of the power these things have over human life. Knowing that we don’t control everything, maybe. I’m not quite sure. Perhaps an anthropologist could tell you, or a philosopher.

An official ‘Call the Midwife’ cookbook is out now!

There's Jane, who cleaned and generally helped out at Nonnatus House - she was taken to the workhouse as a baby and was allegedly the illegitimate daughter of an aristocrat. Peggy and Frank's parents both died within six months of each other and the children were left destitute. At the time, there was no other option for them but the workhouse. She wrote: “The earlier seasons had wonderful blankets, scarves, sweaters, and mittens! I have vintage patterns books, but there are some unique hand knits in this programme!” Featuring 50 recipes written by author and leading food historian Annie Gray, the book is out now in both the US and the UK. Where can you buy it? Two areas which are explored much more deeply and disturbingly in the book are prostitutes and workhouses. There are also further recollections penned by Jennifer herself, including an entertaining passage about the time she spent in Paris. Jennifer Worth seems to be a lady of many depths and talents, and I'm sure her husband and family will be thrilled at how many people have been inspired by her writing, and the awareness she raised in profiling midwifery." Who was Jennifer Worth?

Fans and food historians alike will appreciate not only the detailed references to the place each dish holds in the show’s storyline but also its greater contribution within England’s culinary history.” Fortunately, the makers of Call the Midwife have published an official book of recipes inspired by the show! There was more great news for Call the Midwife fans last month, when the BBC revealed that the show will continue for another three seasons! The Reverend Thornton-Appleby-Thorton, a missionary in Africa, visits the Nonnatus nuns and Sister Julienne acts as matchmaker.

Call the Midwife: The Official Cookbook includes more than 100 beautiful photographs of featured recipes and stills from the show and dozens of memorable quotes from many of the series characters that viewers have come to know. Fans and food historians alike will appreciate not only the detailed references to the place each dish holds in the show’s storyline but also its greater contribution within England’s culinary history. That being said, I actually came away from the book "Call the Midwife" feeling a little unsatisfied. I certainly enjoyed the stories that she told. Some were heart-breaking, some sweet or funny. I enjoyed the subplot about Jenny discovering a profound faith in God (though I found her a little unrevealing about other aspects of herself-- who is this man she loved so much?). The religious subplot is, sadly, conspicuously absent from the TV series. This book is filled with all sorts of heart-warming gems, readers' responses and personal histories. There are stories from other midwives, lorry drivers, even a seamstress, all with tales to tell.Every new birth was my favorite experience, just the joy, the thrill, the privilege of bringing a new life into the world. I’ve had hundreds of “favorite experiences.” What a wonderful life. I now have a new respect for the Midwives and Nuns of the 1940-50's era.....they were an extremely knowledgeable and formidable breed with unbelieveably immeasurable responsibilities.
