Bero cook book

catznine

Got my copy of the new BeRo cookbook in yesterdays post! (3 weeks from applying!) Lots in there that I want to try now and have even got a new griddle for the scotch pancakes, mind you I have been promising myself one of these since the kitchen was renewed.

Squeaky Thank you for the information on this as they accepted my cheque for 99p so very happy.

Spends you're absolutely right, although a little book that takes up hardly any room on the bookcase it does have a lot of good recipes and info in it. So have confessed to OH that yet another cookbook has joined the collection;)

I sent a cheque today for my book. I know they say to allow up to 28 days for delivery but I wonder how long it actually takes to arrive, does anyone know? Can't wait to get this book sounds terrific!!

Received my book today and my NEW PANASONIC SD 253! Now I must try cooking something nice!

I've decided to keep my old Be-Ro book as well as the new one as there are a couple of recipes that haven't been repeated. There are tons of new ones, and I was leafing through it last night. But I couldn't find quick bread, and I use that one a lot - well, I did, before the arrival of the bread machine ...

I don't have quick bread in either of mine. They're obviously too new. Must keep an eye open for cheap second hand old ones.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether the book available for 99p has a recipe for a chocolate cake that uses evaporated milk ??
This was my fave as a kid - my mum and I have been searching high and low for the book but it seems to have dissapeared !!

I'll have my cheque in the post today if it has that recipe (especially as its FULL of other yummy recipes)

Thanks ! :T

squeaky

YES it has

When you go onto the site to get your book follow the links for Recipe (inspirations I think) and you'll find the recipe listed there so you can check it out to make sure it's the one you remember

White Bread - Quick Method (Be-Ro 34th edition)

1/2 oz or 3tsp dried yeast & 1tsp caster sugar or 1 oz fresh yeast
3lb Be-Ro plain flour (save 1 oz for dusting)
1 1/2 pints warm water (1 part boiling, 2 parts cold)
4 - 6 level tsp salt according to taste
1 1/2 oz lard (optional)

1. Reconstitute dried yeast in 1/4 pint of recipe warm water with sugar until frothy (page 59 - ooh-er), or cream fresh yeast with a little warm water.

NB: If anyone would like to know what happens on p59 of the 34th edition, let me know.

2. Mix flour and salt in warm bowl. Rub in lard (optional).

3. Add yeast liquid and remainder of water to flour, mix until dough leaves bowl cleanly.

4. Knead thoroughly on a floured surface (about 10 minutes).

5. Divide and shape dough. Place in warm greased tins, pressing well into corners, or on to greased baking sheets. Recipe will make two large or four small loaves.

6. Cover with cloth and leave to prove in a warm place for 45 - 50 minutes until dough reaches top of tins.

7. Bake in hot oven (425 - 450 F, gas mark 7 - 8). Rolls will take 10 - 15 minutes. 1lb loaves 35 - 40 minutes. 2lb loaves 45 - 50 minutes.

I love this bread.

There is also a batter method.
