This, like many of Marguerite Patten's other 'Basics' other books, is simply invaluable. Particularly key, now many of us are growing our own & therefore understand the seasonal 'glut' dilemma - there are, I promise you, only so many cucumbers you can eat in a week ........

I have tried Bethany Simpson on this plan "Behind My Smile" A look at Juvenile Arthritis and she is having a little positive change to her health already. Bethany is finding it easier to breath and to tackle the stairs. It is a real hope for us as seeing your child in so much pyshical and emotional pain is soul destroying. The honey especially is helping and she seems a bit calmer. We have only been following for 4 days so I have high hopes. I would love her to come off the anti-tnf drugs even though they are helping we can see the side effects. Thank you for writing the book.

Marguerite Patten, the doyen of British Cookery, surpasses herself here.
Split into decades, this book gives a brief history of the times, an indication of the foods at that time, likely meals for the different classes, prevailing culinary influences and a little information about the applicances in use and methods employed at the time.
So what has this got to do with making good food now, you may ask ? Well, the answer is nothing, but it is still fascinating information nonetheless.
Then we come to the recipes.
She is no different to any other perfectionist in that she leaves no stone unturned - imperial as well as metric measures are given and fan ovens are catered for too ( this last point ... Read More:

I have been using this cookbook ever since I first learnt to cook. I was terribly upset when I left home and couldn't take it with me, I have been searching for the same book ever since, I am so glad to of found it at last. You will really never need another cook book from Pidgeon pie to American style frosting, this book truly has it all!

I bought this book many, many years ago. I am still using it as I find that when I am searching through my many recipe books, this is the book with the recipe I want in it! There are no fancy pictures in my book but if I had to choose one recipe book, this would be the one. My copy is very old and tattered now so I will have to think of buying a new copy. The ingredients in the recipes can be found in virtually any supermarket which is a big bonus for me as I only live in a small rural town and do not have access to some of the more unusual ingredients in most of today's recipes.
