One of Rafe’s favorite dishes in Accidentally His is mussel and onion stew. Just so you know, I’m not fond of mussels myself (I prefer clams, oysters, and crabs), but the recipe I found on a now defunct site does sound good. A creamy seafood soup? Yum! It comes from the West Country, which is where Rafe grew up and Verity’s father still lives. The dish originated in “the West country” and that’s where I had Rafe grow up, so I figured that fit. Anyway, the man whose site it was, Glyn Hughes (now deceased) has a great cook book with all sorts of recipes for lost English dishes. Check it out here if you like historical cookbooks!
