Book Recommendation

I hope that this is the right place to post this and that it hasn't been posted before.

I have just bought a new cookery book. It is called The Dinner Lady and is by Jeanette Orrey. It says it will change the way your children eat, for life.

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=sr&page=title&r=BOOK&title=523345

There are over 100 recipes in the book and the type of food is what would be served in schools (for either 4 people or 96 people:eek: ). The meals aren't fussy needing expensive ingredients but good old fashioned simple foods. There is a recipe for Manchester Tart that brings back childhood memories.

Hope this is of use to somebody.
