TRY MY GRANNY’S DELICIOUS OLD-FASHIONED RECIPES
The ‘Nostalgic Cook Book’ reveals all the delicious, healthy, inexpensive and forgotten recipes of yesteryear!
I MISS MY GRANDMOTHER for many reasons… but one thing I often reminisce about is her delicious meals. She didn’t have much money, but we always ate really well – every day she cooked delicious healthy dishes, no ready-made meals in those days!
Before my granny passed away at the grand old age of 94, and having hardly suffered a serious day’s illness in her life, she made sure that I received all her secret recipes. My husband and I use these recipes every week and it’s no wonder that we have a very healthy family with children who refuse to eat junk food and tasteless supermarket prepared foods. They’re even learning to cook! I wanted to make sure that granny’s recipes lived on so I decided to write this book. I did extensive research and added a number of other traditional recipes to those of my grandmother, and compiled ‘The Nostalgic Cook Book’— the ultimate book of old-fashioned recipes including many wartime recipes that kept our workforce both happy and healthy, and kept our soldiers fit to fight in the battlefields! Here’s just a selection of recipes to whet your appetite :
Bacon Turnovers – traditional fried chopped bacon… made from the best bacon!
Savoury Potato Cakes – tender potato & fish cakes gently grilled… lovely!
Cheese and Vegetable Cutlets – delicious oven made cutlets covered in breadcrumbs!
Woolton Pie – a rich and thick vegetable pie created at the Savoy during the war!
Poached Kippers – gently boiled, soft and succulent… oh the memories!

This book comprehensively covers every meal of the day from breakfast to supper, and even has a huge list of desserts. Wonderful home-made meals that taste much better and are much healthier than all those high salt hydrogenated prepared foods on your supermarket shelves! The recipes are inexpensive, tasty, and guaranteed to provide at least five fruit and vegetables per day that every healthy body needs. Due to the obvious shortages of the war and post war economy the diet had to be kept simple, cheap and above all healthy – providing all the vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates required! And what’s more the recipes were easy to prepare and incredibly tasty! It was a diet low in sugar, fats and salt and high in essential minerals… the best diet for a healthier longer life!
