With this book you will be able to fill your home with the smells and tastes of childhood. Learn how to make the classic recipes that your grandmother made with chapters on breakfasts, soups, snacks and light meals, fish, poultry and game, meat, desserts and pies, and of course cakes and cookies.
You will find familiar recipes here that conjure up a gentler age of home-baking, family meals and a warm, welcoming kitchen. Discover timeless classics, such as such as Bubble and Squeak, Pea and Ham Soup, Grilled Sardines, Steak and Kidney Pie, Liver and Onions, Saddle of Rabbit and Toad In The Hole.
Accompany your meals with freshly cooked vegetables like Griddled Potatoes, Roast Beetroot with Horseradish Cream and Coleslaw with Blue Cheese, and bring a whole new comforting period dimension to your family meals and memories. Use the delicious cakes and cookies recipes in the book to pass on your favourite sweet treats to the next generation, and fill your oven with Lemon Drizzle Cake, Apple and Blackberry Crumble, and Old-Fashioned Treacle Cake.
Revive the tradition of afternoon tea and make special treats for the weekends, like Raspberry Trifle and Jam Tarts. Many of these dishes make the best of local produce and were contrived to sustain a working family through the week, bringing everyone together at the end of a day not only to fortify their stomachs but also to bind the family unit together.
Use this book to help make the kitchen the heart of your home, and the evening meal the day's focal point, with cooking from a kinder era..
