While mooching around Chichester this morning I bought this
I had been looking at it every time I visited Waterstone's, and as I had some book tokens from Christmas I thought why not....
I do have a bit of a thing for old cookery books but I liked this as Julie Duff has found old recipes and tested them and given (hopefully) instructions that we can all relate to today. I plan to start to try a lot of them out over the next few weeks and will of course share with you my successes and failures along the way.
That looks an interesting book, I love baking cakes myself. It's nice to have book tokens, but I always feel that money spent on books needs no justification!
ReplyDeleteUh oh! Greg's just spotted your cake over my shoulder! Miss your baking.
ReplyDeleteI also had to put up with the rugby - wish i had some of that cake!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more x
That cake looks soooo yummy! I could go for a piece of that right now. =)
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better than a piece of delicious looking cake on a Cornishware plate? That book looks great. Looking forward to seeing what you make from it.
ReplyDeletei had rugby too...sadly no cake though but a happy husband as ireland won!
ReplyDeleteas always i'll look forward to your baking results + eagerly await another recipe to match the bara b wonder that you kindly passed on :)
have a great week! x
Gosh after reading all your lovely comments I feel the least I should do is don my apron and start baking! but alas I am watching a real old tear jerker, Good morning Miss Dove.
ReplyDeleteI might of known you'd be enjoying a bit of cake - oblivious to my job interview hell and toothache!!! Call yourself a neighbour/friend? PAH!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the only way you can make amends is by baking me something with a high cocoa content or a large amount of cooked fruit!!
consider it done - but not until you have visited your dentist;-)
